bug/feature in session file option

bmerkle · Post by **bmerkle** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 6:07 am

Hi there

the session file option /sf: must have an _absolute_ path at the moment.
I think it would also be usefull to have a relative path.

e.g.
examdiffpro.exe /sf:C:\session.txt -->works
examdiffpro.exe /sf:.\session.txt -->works
examdiffpro.exe /sf:session.txt -->fails !

can you fix this.

i think this happens also with 4.0 beta

thanks,
Bernhard.

Relative to what though? To the current console directory?

yes exactly. Relative to the current console directory.
I am running examdiff in an automatic build and hence need this feature

thanks,
Bernhard.

Well, what's wrong with this:

examdiffpro.exe /sf:.\\session.txt -->works

?

nothing wrong. Is is just a bit explicit and I was irritated the the alternative syntax (without specifiying .\\) was NOT working.

OTOH you can argue, that .\\ is more explicit and hence better.

IMO both should work, e.g. in conformace with most commands from the usual shells (cmd, bash etc...)

I am

. It's a Windows application after all, and I don't see anything wrong with ".\\" syntax.
