I have a script that uses SCGetFileURL. It works fine in SuperContainer plugin 2.792.

When I updated to the 'FMv12' compatible plugins eg 2.861 & 2.863 this function has now gone missing.

I have tested this on 2 Macs.

When I revert back to 2.792 the function works ok.

Yes, this function has been out of commission since September of 2011. SuperContainer plug-in versions that were released prior to that date would contain this function -- 2.792 for example.

Regards,

Why did it need to be removed?

What do you suggest we use instead to get the same result?

I did a little bit of research and it looks like we made an inadvertent change to the SuperContainer API. To my knowledge it seems as though it was changed for naming/clarity -- however, we typically do not make these sort of changes simply for naming conventions.

It does seem to be the case that SCGetFolderURL() is the replacing function for the deprecated SCGetFileURL() and should work similarly. My best recommendation is to swap out the former "SCGetFileURL()" function with the newer "SCGetFolderURL()".

Regards,

This doesn't help get the file name. How do you suggest getting the folder path with the filename?

The SCGetInfo function returns a value list which has the filename as it's first value. If that's not helpful, could you explain exactly what information you're trying to obtain?

 

Thanks
