anyURI open in a specific avm location

Hi All,Is there any way to set the anyURI widget to open a specific avm path from which they can then continue to browse the child folders in order to find an item. The closest I can find is the 'File Picker' Folder Restriction (see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_XForms_Widgets).'File P

if you configure

<param name="selectable_types">wcm:avmcontent,wcm:avmfolder</param>‍

the wcm:avmfolder should allow you to see and select subfolders.

Sorry bad advice
I get what you mean.
I altered FilePickerBean.java
around line 403 (I'm using SVN build)

// if folder path restriction (relative path) is set,
      // then calculate the absolute restriction path (in context of file
      // picker's
      // initial current path - the path at which it was opened the first time)
      // and set file picker current path to that
      if ((folderPathRestriction != null)
            && (folderPathRestriction.length() != 0))
      {
        if (!currentPath.startsWith(initialCurrentPath + folderPathRestriction))  
        {
           currentPath = initialCurrentPath + folderPathRestriction;
        }
      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The if (!currentPath.startsWith(initialCurrentPath + folderPathRestriction)) modifcation checks to see if we are in a subdirectory of the original path restriction. I guess you could go further and create another parameter to decide whether to operate like this or with a total restriction as before.
