Is it possible to capture the File path from a file that has been uploaded using the File Picker?

We are trying to capture the File path for a file that was uploaded via the File Picker so we can pass this information on to an FME job.  The documentation only details capturing the File Data and the File Name, is there a way to also capture the original File Path?

  From reading the doco which you mention there is only the option of obtaining the name however, I would suggest two alternatives. One of these we use for when we want FME to process files during a workflow.

   

  1. We write the file somewhere FME can access it an then pass it the path to where it was written.

   

  2. Instead of using filepicker get the user to type/paste the file path in.

   

  Honestly I believe file picker should expose the file path since UNC paths and we technology are used often enough.
