Yes, this is the expected behavior. The result of read %/dir/
is a block containing the names of the files in that directory
as relative filenames. When you use modified? on relative names
directly, it treats them as relative to the current directory.
The way to fix that is to change them back to absolute names,
like this:
foreach file (read %/d/dir1/) [
file: join %/d/dir1/ file ; This line does the trick
print [file modified? file]
]
Does that help?
