Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tony Balinski (ajbj) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Empty $file_path Initial Comment: When you start NEdit without a particular file, you get a document labelled "Unknown". It is created without a file path, which can be a big problem if you execute macros from it using $file_name. This is easy to fix in function EditNewFile() in file.c, where window->path is assigned: strcpy(window->path, defaultPath ? defaultPath : ""); Instead of "", call GetCurrentDir() (in util/utils.c). On Unix/Linux/Posix/Cygwin you'll need to add a "/" to that, since that's how file paths are normally terminated in NEdit. (On VMS, I expect this is not necessary, but I don't have such a system to play with. I don't know about other file path conventions on other systems.) Having made the change results in a correctly assigned $file_path value for these documents. This path is visible in the statistics line (if you use that), another useful feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-11 17:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO The path in the window is not shown, because an Untitled document has no real filename and NEdit prevents than to show the path. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-11 15:49 Message: Logged In: NO By calling GetCurrentDir() you can have the path visible in the statistics line but not in the window title (even if you choose to show it). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-04 19:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO Great, I noticed this too, while we both discuss your relativeFileNormalization patch, but haven't time to look at this. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111005&aid=1907176&group_id=11005 -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
