I have file that i got from File chooser plugin and i want after some other actions to release that file, to reset file chooser object. How can i do that? I have tried Release file action, but it doesn't work.

I tried Action Release file - Fileurl FileChooser.FileURLAt(0)

I also tried Action Release file - Fileurl 0 and Action Release file - Fileurl "0"

I am working on a map editor and this is my last bug (: Release file action doesn't work. File chooser/on changed also doesn't work if you trying to load the same file again. I need to release that file -__-

Edit

My solution: Destroy file chooser and create it again to release the file.

Yep, I had this bug too, ended with the same workaround - destroy and re-create the file chooser object.

By the way, you can keep the file chooser button hidden off-screen and use the following code to trigger it:

Browser Execute Javascript "myFileChooser.click()"

where myFileChooser is the ID of FileChooser object.
