1.4 beta 7 crashes folder naming pattern - feature or bug?

So I tried the new beta. Moving files and directories, it seems to double the string. Tried it on files that should turn up with nothing to do:

Is:
<some path>\olddirectoryname\oldfilename

Suggests:
<some path>\olddirectoryname\oldfilename\olddirectoryname\oldfilename

Rename seems unaffected.

Oh, and while I am at it: If I change a character case in a field used in the directory - like <artist> from "Iq" to "IQ" - then filenames will change, but not directorynames. Not sure if this is fb2k or Windows though.

What do you mean by the crashing mentioned in the topic?

Are we talking about foo_fileops?

I can't reproduce any path doubling. Copying stuff to target works as it should. Using move with the naming pattern that matches my path scheme correctly shows there's nothing to do. Hitting Run button doesn't crash anything.

I can't bother Peter about issues that I can't understand.

I have tried to move/copy some folders and no issues for me so far.
Duplicate folder directory can be created but that depends of what file name pattern is used.

"crashes" was an awful choice of word, mea culpa.
Trying to get down to a minimum "working" example ... choose Move, and select as "Destination folder" the drive letter where the files are already, and paste the following as "File naming pattern":

Code: [Select]
$replace($right(%path%,$sub($len(%path%),2)),%directory%\%filename_ext%,)\%directory%\%filename%

Seems I need some of that path manipulation to get things going wrong. But up to beta 6 it says nothing to do, destination matches source. beta 7 ... not quite.

There seems to be a problem that %directory% isn't recognized. Not even by its documented %directoryname% name. You can use $directory(%path%) to achieve the same.

New beta posted, %directoryname% works again.
