Thanks. Only using a single file in this case.

Then also note that <curitem> only returns the currently selected AND focused item.aliteralmind wrote:Thanks. Only using a single file in this case.
If you want the focused item regardless of selection, use <focitem>.
If you want the selected item(s) regardless of focus, use <get SelectedItemsPathNames> or Get('SelectedItemsPathNames') as Filehero suggested.

Actually, it turns out I want the behavior of the original code, then:
If nothing is selected, then I want the directory. Would be nice to have <fo**D**item>

A related question:
If the extension
is the empty string, then it's a folder (or a no-extension file...). Is there a more reliable way to detect if it's a folder?
If the extension

The Exists SC is probably a better method now.
GetPathComponent is not aware of what type of object the path is, so a folder containing a period is treated like a file with extension.

Got it!
P.S. I love ternarys! 
I come from Java.
Code: Select all
$isDir = (exists($origPath) == 2);
if($isDir) {
echo "dir!";
}
