Fine if using File Dialog; error otherwise.

 Hello,

I'm heavily modifying a scanning file for a laser and I've run into an issue. When I run the vi with File Dialog, I click okay to select a directory and it works wonderfully. If I attempt to replace this with a string containing the path name, it doesn't pass on the filename properly. I'm not quite sure why. I guess two questions.

1) Anyone have any ideas why this might be?

2) What is the actual output from the File Dialog node?

Thanks!
