      Just want to give this a bump because these constants still don't work.

      In fact none of them work now but I thought some of them did previously...

        @d-healey Playing with them right now with files downloaded from a server. Here's what I'm seeing
        .toString(0) = full file path
        .toString(1) = filename (no extension)

        Is that different than what you're looking for?

          Try to print .toString(File.NoExtension); and you will get an undefined error.

            I don't think you can use anything except an integer for this function.

            The integer is passed to the .toString function switch case.

              @dustbro Exactly but those constants should provide that integer so we don't have to use magic numbers

                @d-healey Do any of the constants work? or are they all broken?

                  These File ones seem to all be broken, but I don't think that's always been the case.

                      @d-healey @dustbro @Lindon Since the enum is part of the class ScriptFile, it is the reference of the file itself that you have to take for using the enum names, not the File API:

                      const var myFile =  FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("myFile.txt");
                      
                      Console.print(myFile.toString(myFile.NoExtension));
                      

                      It is the same when you use, let's say a simple gain, it's the reference of the effect "myGain" you use to access the different parameters.
                      For instance myGain.Balance, not Synth.Balance

                      I know the location in FileSystem for instance are accessed through FileSystem.SpecialLocation,
                      but in this case, you use the API, not a reference of it that you have created (well, at least if I explain correctly :) )

                      Can't help pressing F5 in the forum...
