mritter Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Dje brought it up to me, I totally forgot about it, but WPI puts a backslash in automatically after specifying a system path, like %SYSTEMDRIVE% or %WINDIR%. Dje reminded me that Windows does not do this automatically, and that there had been a discussion on whether or not to change this.%SYSTEMDRIVE%mydir\myprogram.exewould become%SYSTEMDRIVE%\mydir\myprogram.exeYou would have to go in and add the trailing backslash manually either in WPI or with a text editor (would be much faster).Do you think it is worth changing? The more I look at it, I prefer putting the first \ in myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Same here I would prefer adding in the \ myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJTPlomp Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 My thought is.. follow Windows standards as much as possible. Those who know how to use those system-variables.. know how it works in the Windows commandshell. So without the backslash makes most sense.Roland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorphnog Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I too prefer to add the \ myself. It has always annoyed me that they were added because I am use to adding it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev_147 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think the variables should match what windows outputs. Easier and read and configure. It don't look right seeing %SYSTEMDRIVE%System32I much prefer %SYSTEMDRIVE%\System32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
