.numbers file seen as a folder by dialogs.pick_document
-
Since 3 weeks, dialogs.pick_document sees a .numbers file as a folder, no more as a file, and shutil.copy does not work anymore. I don't' have installed the last update of ios12, thus nothing new this month.
I know that .numbers files are zipped folders in reality but why this change?
If I import the .numbers file via appex, it is still seen as a file. -
Additional info:
fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['public.item'])Returns a folder
fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['com.apple.iwork.numbers.sffnumbers'])Returns a file
-
numbers is a Standard Library module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/numbers.html To avoid name collision, can you try a different name for your file?
-
@ccc .numbers only appears between quotes in my script, thus no collision, I think.
And the same script, unchanged, has worked until 2 weeks ago.
I think that Apple changes some UTI sometimes.Edit: .numbers only appears in the fil = dialogs.... line
Edit: and my file is named xxx.numbers because it is a Numbers spread sheet file

Today, after upgrade to iOS 12.1.1,
fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['com.apple.iwork.numbers.sffnumbers'])shows .numbers files as grayed, thus not pickable...
Apple does some changes without warning users. 😢and
fil = dialogs.pick_document(types=['public.item'])returns a file, no more a folder.
Thus, they had a bug but they never did speak about it.
