Re: v13 - Windows, DOS, LEP, Virtual environments, attrib command
I found a actual PC, and moved everything over there to try. the answer is : YES the virtual environment was causing the hide/show attributes of the files to be wonky, and folders not to work at all.

The code worked without an issue once on a real PC, rather then a virtual environment.

Re: v13 - Windows, DOS, LEP, Virtual environments, attrib command
to rule out virtual environment as decisive factor, perhaps you could try https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-document-properties as mentioned multiple times, an accurate understanding of how path escaping works on CLI is required, especially for folder paths on windows as by definition they end with an escape character. ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
v13 - Windows, DOS, LEP, Virtual environments, attrib command
I have run across a situation where I *think* the problem is a virtual environment. Using LEP I am trying to set files &/or folders (in)visible. The base attrib command is: attrib [+/-]H [/S /D] Path where [+/-] = make hidden/ make visible where [/S /D] = switches to apply to all files & folders and subfolders Running attrib from cmd, I am finding that the hidden state of files is only sometimes changed, and folders never, even manually setting the hidden attribute of a folder does NOT result in the folder being hidden. Has anyone else ever attempted this? run onto this issue? I am running the virtual environment (Parallels with Windows 7 ultimate), on a Mac running 10.11.
