This is probably be a bug but wondering if anyone knows how to work around it? A parameter defined as follows def getParameterInfo(self):     in_files = arcpy.Parameter(displayName="Text Files",                                name="in_files",                                datatype="DEFile",                                parameterType="Required",                                direction="Input",                                multiValue=True)     in_files.filter.list = ['txt'] Will not pass the filter to the browse UI, e.g.: This is the desired result and what is shown with multiValue=True removed: Curiously the filter still gets applied with multiValue=True during validation: The issue is exacerbated by the fact that the validation is not extremely useful since it does not tell you which parameter has the wrong type and the file edits are scrolled left so in most cases the root directory is the only thing visible (had to manually scroll each parameter in screencap above). ...

Python toolbox tools should be able to advertise the environment's they honor in the same way as built-in tools do. Currently the Environments tab appear empty and any environment settings that the tool uses cannot be overridden unless the tool explicitly expose them as parameters (with defaults being the environment settings). Compare built-in: Versus custom Python tool:   Also see related  discussion in GIS Developers->Python ... View more

Example This is for inside ArcGIS Pro but I assume it also applies to Desktop. I assume there is some way to advertise the environments in same way as the internal tools do but could not locate a single example or mention of it in the documentaion. Thanks ... View more

I apologize for creating a new thread as there are already some places with complaints about this, but I hope to unify what is known and unknown about this issue and hopefully elicit an official response and help from ESRI on this matter. I posted the following at the end of February since we were using the old RDO system (for which support has been removed since 9.4 beta): http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/1483-3rd-Party-Raster-Dll-Support-in-10?p=4980 The only official details on how to do this is here: http://edn.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=downloads.detail&downloadid=204 but I cannot even get a sample dll to load using 9.3.1 or 9.4 or 10. It scans the gdalplugins folder (I used the Procmon SysInternals utility to monitor file and directory accesses) to get the list of dlls in it but never even accesses or opens the files. There is a user comment at this link with no answer complaining about the exact same issue. The following link complains that there is no SDK for GDAL available for 9.4/10.0: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/844-Custom-GDAL-raster-filter-not-working-in-9.4 It does imply that they somehow managed to get this to work in a previous version, although I cannot determine how. There is a bug in the system since November 2008 (NIM040337) that basically complains that the documentation on this is thin and that there is no working example (as we had at one point with the RDO system) that shows that this is actually working here: http://resources.arcgis.com/content/nimbus-bug?bugID=TklNMDQwMzM3 Regards, Jacques Beaurain Geosoft Inc. ...
