Sorry about this post. I figured out what my problem was. The problem was from using 4D’s old ’Select folder’ to pick the folder, then Convert path system to POSIX( ). When I would try to create a FOLDER( ) from this, it said it didn’t .exist . It’s because it puts a bunch of %’s in it
Switched to using the Drop technology of Get file from pasteboard( ) and such, and then Folder( ) worked correctly. Sometimes it is quite a process to figure out… — Chris I would have REPLIED but it had been an hour and 4D iNug had still not sent me this message, so I couldn’t reply. —— HAD POSTED —— Using the “File and Folder” theme of commands, I need to get a FOLDER OBJECT for a FILE OBJECT. I would have thought it would be file.parent (similar to folder.parent). But there seems no easy way to get the folder object. We have: $obj_File:= File( PathName ). The resulting $obj_File, however, has no attribute for the folder that owns it! A FOLDER object has $obj_Folder.parent But a FILE OBJECT should also have a .parent attribute, which should be its owning folder! Any way to convert a FILE OBJECT to a FOLDER OBJECT? I started a method for it, but that seems insane; surely 4D already has a simple way to get the FOLDER of a FILE ??
