XYplorer Beta Club

On my WinXP installation, my "My Documents" (ger. "Eigene Dateien") is defined to be at "D:\Users\Borut\".

I am attaching two images, one of Windows Explorer and one of XYplorer. In both the current path is in the same subdirectory of "My Documents". However, the contents of the Address Bar is different.

This presents a problem when using Listary with XYplorer: if I go to D:\Users\Borut\___TEST_FOR_XY\ explicitly via D:\, then there are no problems. If I go to the same directory via Eigene Dateien, then I can not use Listary successfully.

This might appear as a philosophical question, but it currently makes a very practical problem when using Listary Beta 4.

I don't know how Listary retrieves the current tree path in XY, but I think he uses scripting. I could show him a way how to always retrieve the "real" path instead of the "special" path. I think. If not I will add such way. Trivial. So, the author (Channing, I think) should approach me.

Thank you - have cross-posted this here: http://discussions.listary.com/discussi ... omment_629

Hello Donald,

Currently Listary reads the path from the address bar text box directly for better compatibility. I'd very much like to know the correct approach to get the real path. Thank you in advance.

Hi Channing,

there is a variable <curpath> which will always return the *real* current path: You can access it via scripting: Don

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
