Summary

0001436: [BUG] FileDirectory root

Description

Hi,

I'm working on Windows XP. When I ask for the root file directory
(FileDirectory root)
I get an empty directory (FileDirectory on: ' ') which refer to the
image directory.
It works well for creating subdirectories
"
FileDirectory root createDirectory: 'MyDir'.

"However, when I try to retreive the created subDir
"
FileDirectory root directoryNamed: 'MyDir'

"BTW
"
FileDirectory root createDirectory: 'MyDir'.
"Answers the parent dir (FileDirectory root) instead of the created dir
(MyDir) as I first expected
... It seems strange to me..."

Notes
(0014582 - 501 - 575 - 575 - 575 - 575 - 575) Patrickr 12-07-15 13:27	I am looking into this issue and it strikes me as rather twisted. The main issue is, that the empty string as a path is ambiguously handled in the DosFileDirectory: (FileDirectory on: '') directoryNames "Returns the drives of the system" (FileDirectory on: '') createDirectory: 'TestDir' "Creates a directory in the image folder" I think the empty string should be consistent with other platforms and refer to the image folder. Any other opinions or experiences why this works like that?
