(Solved) %CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS% Problem

Posts: 3 · Relgisri 18 Aug 2016, 07:09

Hey,

I use the following option to synchronize the path "%CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS%\" with a userpath on our fileserver.
It seems that "%CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS%\" is now directing to "[Location of the Batch-Job]\%CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS%\]" instead of (e.g.) "D:\MyDocuments\".

When I change it to the option shown in the help section "%csidl_Documents%" everything works fine.
It used to work for a time. Was there any change that I didn't read?

Yes, this variable was renamed to match the Windows Vista and later naming convention.

Why do you need to adapt your config? FFS 8.4 should automatically do the conversion when loading a configuration file.

Okay, that's a bug, the automatic conversion currently is case-sensitive. It would have worked for "%csidl_MyDocuments%"

:D
As I said, I used it %CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS%\ all the time. And then It didn't worked.
Changed it to %csidl_Documents% (coperino & pasterino of the help manual) and it worked.

But good that we found now a bug to crush. Thanks for your work!
