I've just discovered a seemingly significant difference in the
behavior of GetFolderItem in 2006r4 as compared with older versions.
I have some code that I use to check the appropriateness of a user-
entered string that should be a UNIX path:
try
f = getFolderItem(theString, folderItem.pathtypeshell)
catch
//if the string does not represent a valid path string
//we get an unsupported format exception here and notify the user
end try
I don't care at this point if the folderItem exists, just whether the
path is a valid one.
In 2006r4 (UB IDE), the exception is never raised. The folderItem
just remains NIL
Is this a bug in r4, or an intentional change, or am I missing
something?
Thanks,
Peter
