As you can see above the old version also returned FALSE for directories (it used the same logic as the Windows implementation of FileExists). The reason the implementation has changed is that since LCL is UTF8 the automatic conversion fpc does is now lossless, which it wasn't before 3.0. -- Bart -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
