<p class="MsoNormal">Hi developers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Calling ConvertToOutputPath() on windows converts all slashes to windows slashes, and also double quotes the path when a space is present in it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The latter causes issues when feeding the corrected path name to functions such as FileIsDirectory() or JoinPath().<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example I have the path: D:/tmp/New folder\<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I feed it to ConvertToOutputPath and get: "D:\tmp\New folder\"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I then call FileIsDirectory( path ), making sure that it exists, the function FileIsDirectory will check for the path FileIsDirectory()"D:\tmp\New folder\" which does not exist. However, the path D:\tmp\New folder\ (no quotes) does exist.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Which leads me to conclude that on Windows the functions ConvertToOutputPath and FileIsDirectory are incompatible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is also this issue with JoinPath() and possibly also with FileExists().<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I added a test program to demonstrate the behaviour, see attachment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure about the solution, but I guess JointPath and FileExists should unquote (if quotes are present) on windows before further processing. But maybe this was intended behaviour?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking for some feedback, regards, Marius<o:p></o:p></p>
