$a doesn't get current base name

It's not. Select any file and run this script You will get the base name of that selected file.

Yes, but you select file manually.




So it might be a bug.


Try this: put a New Textfile.txt file and a .rar file into a folder and select .rar file and run this script:
result = NOTHING


select .txt file and run this same script: result = New Textfile







<curext>

<curname>

does the same too

BUT

Changing "<curbase>" to "<curpath>"
is working in both cases.

It seems that selfilter doesn't transfer focus to an item that is being selected. In addition, calling <curbase> when one item is selected and another is focused gets neither.

Yep, by design.

Thats because <curpath> is the same for all items in the list so it does not matter if you select an item or not, while <curbase> differs from item to item, thats why XY needs to know which item you are requesting <curbase> info for.
