This issue has two Star Office internal duplicates. I use this issue
to combine all three:
========================================
>From internal task 109967, Submit Date: 2003-05-28
Description: mkdir("c:\a")
chdir("c:\a")
msgbox curdir()
The above code does not display "c:\a". It is not clear if this is a chdir() or
curdir() problem, but the mkdir() function works fine.
- Seen on W2K, W98, and Solaris.
KK: I don't know if this is the expected behavior of CurDir() and ChDir(), but
as far as I can gather from the help, it looks like a bug.
CN: seems to be that chdir() does not work. chrid("sdfsdf") does not throw error
code 76 as described in Help.
========================================
>From internal task 116955, Submit Date: 2004-05-28
CurDir works correctly and shows that ChDir has no effect.
Even though a file/path literal may be platform-specific, there
is no reason why ChDir should not accept both file URLs
and platform-specific paths.
AB -> CS: I don't know why you assume that this is the (only) problem
concerning ChDir. This task is not so easy. According to the VB docu-
mentation this command sets the working directory for the current pro-
cess. So e.g. external processes started with shell should be started
in this directory then. Unless I wrote platform specific code which I real-
ly want to avoid I would need an corresponding SAL API for setting
this directory. Besides the question how this can be realised platform
independent I'm not sure if the Office itself tolerates the change of the
current directory. Another way of course would be to simulate the
ChDir/CurDir functionality inside Basic only, but I don't know how much
sense this makes.
========================================
Set to STARTED for now, but in general this is a probable candidate
for WONTFIX as I don't have an idea how to solve the general problem
described above.
