Hi list,

I have a very simple utility-function which uses fileIO Xtra to find out
if a file exists (just for cases where Buddy API or FileXtra are not
available):

on fileExists fn
  fio=new(xtra "fileIO")
  fio.openFile(fn,1)
  err=fio.status()
  fio.closeFile()
  fio=void
  if err=0 then
    return 1
  else
    return 0
  end if
end

Now I found out that this function always returns true if a file with
the same filename as the filename in parameter fn (which is a full path)
exists in the moviepath, i.e. if fn doesn't exist, but a file with the
same name exists in the same folder as the *.dir, fileIO takes this one
instead for openFile, writeString etc. (dir mx, win xp pro). Does anyone
know a way to make fileIO stop behaving like that?

Thanks,
valentin
