Minor problem with File API

[Lindon]

const var appDataFolder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Samples);
const var presetsFolder = appDataFolder.getChildFile("ExpansionMetaData");

const var fileList = FileSystem.findFiles(presetsFolder, "*_expansion.json", true);

Console.print(fileList[0].toString(fileList[0].Filename));

doesnt seem to work - it returns the full path every time.

this does work however:

const var appDataFolder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Samples);
const var presetsFolder = appDataFolder.getChildFile("ExpansionMetaData");

const var fileList = FileSystem.findFiles(presetsFolder, "*_expansion.json", true);

Console.print(fileList[0].toString(fileList[0].NoExtension));

OnlyExtension also doesnt work...

You don't need to put fileList[0].Filename, you just put the string constant. So in your case it would be Console.print(fileList[0].toString("Filename"));

@d-healey said in Minor problem with File API:

Console.print(fileList[0].toString("Filename"));

sure I can do that and it works(or more correctly - breaks) in exactly the same way:

it prints out this:

H:\Audio\Channel Robot\Hise_Work\Substrate\Samples\ExpansionMetaData\Substrate_expansion.json

when it should print out this:

Substrate_expansion.json

Ok I figured it out, your method was right Lindon. The constant is a member of the file object but Filename has not been implemented.

You can cheat it though since it's just an integer, use 3.
Console.print(fileList[0].toString(3));

@Christoph-Hart Little fixes required: According to docs File.Extension should be File.OnlyExtension, and File.Filename is missing.

Yup, use the int. Works for me.

Looking in the source it seems this constant has been implemented but it's still not working when used in a script.

Ok I've fixed this issue now - turned out to be really simple. I've also added a File.getSize() function and a FileSystem.descriptionOfSizeInBytes() (Maybe this function should be part of the File class but I couldn't get it to work unless it was called on a file object which shouldn't be necessary). These are wrappers for the JUCE functions of the same name.

I've also added a wrapper function to generate a SHA256 has from a file, might be useful for verifying the integrity of downloaded files.

I noticed that the autocomplete popup doesn't seem to work for File. in the latest version, anyone else having this issue?
