A request for Max
Aug 22 2020 | 2:29 pm
it happens also to old Max-foxes to create a folder or a name with a slash (e.g. Song/texts/melody), I know this is deadly. It would help a lot, if the drop file-object would spit out a warning, if a name with a slash appears. Is that possible to implement? It's not in the front of thinking and it takes forever to find it...Sorry, I know it's my stupidity, but it happens...
Thanks
- Aug 23 2020 | 2:47 amyou could solve it by requesting the type or trying to open the whole path, going through it segment by segment: user user/Song user/Song/texts <- doesnt open, so "texts" is not a folder user/Song/texts/melody <- opens, so this folder is called "text/melody" but may i ask when you need that? for storing and recalling paths it should not matter. more problematic is when a filename has a slash...

But then if there are some old files that contain slashes in the name it refuses. Anyhow it is not a big issue, only disturbing sometimes. Thanks for considering.
