DIR_PATH doesn't work on floating panel

Other Development Topics Python API
#1

prop_directory : bpy.props.StringProperty(
name = “output_path”,
description=“Choose a directory:”,
default="",
maxlen=1024,
subtype=‘DIR_PATH’)

it seems to work on popovers but the icon does nothing on floating panels, any idea?

Thank you in advance

Btw here is the full example

import bpy
bl_info = {
    "name" : "Test",
    "version": (0, 0, 1),
    "description" : "",
    "blender" : (2, 80, 0),
    "location" : "",
    "warning" : "",
    "category" : "Scene"
}

class ThisThingOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
    bl_idname = "scene.tester"        # Unique identifier for buttons and menu items to reference.    
    bl_label = "Export tester project" # Display name in the interface.
    
    prop_directory : bpy.props.StringProperty(
        name="Root Folder",
        description="TesterButton.",
        subtype="DIR_PATH"
        )

    @classmethod
    def poll(cls, context):
        return (context.mode == 'OBJECT')

    def execute(self, context):        
        return {'FINISHED'}
        
    def invoke(self, context, event): # Used for user interaction
        wm = context.window_manager
        return wm.invoke_props_dialog(self)

    def draw(self, context): # Draw options
        row = self.layout
        row.prop(self, "prop_directory", text="Bla")

def menu_func(self, context):
    self.layout.operator(ThisThingOperator.bl_idname)

def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(ThisThingOperator)
    bpy.types.TOPBAR_MT_render.append(menu_func) 
    bpy.types.Scene.directory = bpy.props.StringProperty(subtype='DIR_PATH')

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(ThisThingOperator)
    bpy.types.TOPBAR_MT_render.remove(menu_func)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

I haven’t got time to play with it, but the last line in all my work is this:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

Note the underscores…

It seems to be related to the formating the actual code is https://pastebin.com/hvC9bDjS

Hey guys, no luck with this issue ?

I seems to have the same problem on a popup with a string property with a TEXTEDIT_UPDATE options.
Won’t update automatically, behaves like regular string property

I use the same kind of floating panel as you.
