 |
|
Hi just found a bug in TC, it happens with %O parameter in button bar. %O is used to output the current filename without extension however if you go to a dir and press CTRL+B (shows all files recursively) and use the button from there, %O passes not only the filename but also the dir from which the file comes (the dir isn't absolute but referenced to the start dir).
P.S. should I send it by email to Christian?
Cheers. |

How is it correct?? It plainly says in the help that %O outputs the name... Moreover not only does it put the dir but also prepends it with "\", so if I wanted to append %O to some other parameter I would have gotten to slashes!! BTW anyone knows if there is a parameter for current dir eg. if I'm in a dir [mydir] and compress some files TC helpfuly suggests mydir.rar for the archive, is there a prameter for this?
Cheers. |

| Quote: | | Question: What is a filename? |
Hmm there is only one definition here:
filename - a set of valid* chars. where valid* means they don't include "\" among other restrictions.
| Quote: | IMO filename can include relative path - without it makes no sense in most cases.
Which advantages has a filename (without relative path) if I don't know where this file is located? |
Well no disrespect meant but filename cannot (by definition) include path.
As to advantages, what does it matter?? In the help it states %O = filename _without extension_ now how would a filename without extension help you!? (if it does, extrapolate your answer to filename without path).
Cheers. |

For two people to have a meaningful dialog/discussion they have to speak with the same logical rules, obviously we aren't on the same wave...

It's not mine but rather OS specific, and on every OS I know about it is correct.
| Quote: | | What is your pratical problem - or it is only a theoritical problem |
Actually I was trying to find a way to automatically generate filenames, like TC does with archives (see my second post) this was an option.
| Quote: | | cmd /ctype %O.%E|sort>%O.srt |
I don't know if you noticed but you used %E here, now I asked as to the usefulness of %O as a filename without extension as defined in the help.
| Quote: | | Conclusion: it's not a bug - it's a feature. |
As I stated above, this is your conclusion not an objective one, thus it doesn't add much to the whole business.
Cheers. |

Oh, nevermind it's getting too lengthy, what I meant about the extension is that there was a reason why Christian splitted the %O and %E, the same reason I can see with the splitted filename and path. I'm not saying that relative path isn't useful, it's useful, what I'm saying is that %O should be filename and path should be in a different parameter.
Cheers. |

No blood please!  Iraq is enough...
I think the solution is evident - we need two paramters instead of current %O. |
