Jacqueline,
I routinely use dynamic path allocation (i.e., relative to the stack). For example, to set the path to the folder "data" in the same folder as the stack, I routinely use (in Metacard/RR):
  --
  --  Get/Set Paths
  --
  put the filename of this stack into thePath
  set the itemdelimiter to "/"
  delete the last item of thePath
  put thePath&"/data/" into datapath

But, although this approach works with Metacard and RR, it doesn't work with DreamCard (at least, not DreamCard Player); I believe the archives of this list document this fact.


Seems to work here okay. I just made a test stack and copied your script into it, with this addtion at the end:

Tsk Tsk guys :-) :-)
You shouldn't discuss (possible) bug behaviour without mentioning version info and OS.

This certainly was a problem in the early versions of the Player - see my detailed description in email to this list on 22/10/04, including a stack on RevOnline to demonstrate it. Tested on WinXP (again, today).

However, I just downloaded the latest Dreamcard Player (2.6.1), and it does not demonstrate the same problem, for me, on WinXP.

John - are you using a 2.6.1 based Player ? An upgrade may be all you need to fix it; if not, can you give the OS and version info for where you see it.

(Note - stacks played *directly* from RevOnline do still demonstrate this characteristic of having no "filename of this stack" - but that's reasonable, since the stack is simply in memory and doesn't have a corresponding file).
