in the external application integration settings (tools>>settings>>integration), %RelPath% doesnt return a value.

any ideas?

maybe some more detail is in order...

im writing a small batch that will emulate the dreamweaver checkin/checkout system. the only thing i have left to do is enable the script to "cd my/relative/path" once ftp is started. there are other ways that i can get the relative path of the project file, but the %RelPath% macro would make this so much easier... however, it is not returning a value. debugging the batch reveals that the environment variable that is set at runtime of the batch reads as "%RelPath%" which provokes me to assume that phpEd is not returning anything.

this is the command line for the integration... put @Path@ @Name@ stm @RelPath@

is there something i have to set in the settings dialog?

is it a bug?

does this macro require a service of some kind?

should i explore another option for obtaining the relative path?

btw...PHPED RULEZ!

Macro are replaced with actual values when they are used in the command line. They do never update anythign including environment, only the command line.
For example if you add %RELPATH% to the command line it will be replaced with correct relative path when this command is invoked. BTW RELPATH makes sense only for the Workspace popup menu. In other words: it works only when the command is executed from this popup.

thats a big 10-4 on the input... thanx.

however, i am using the command line instantiation of the macro. what i have done is replaced the cvs executable setting to use my batch file and created my own commands for the popup. executing the batch and utilizing the macros is not the problem. lets say i pass this command...

put @Path@ @Name@ stm @RelPath@

to this script...

REM $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

EXIT

args 1 thru 4 contain valid values, but arg 5 does not. when echoed, %CICORELP% displays "%RelPath%" (without quotes) as the value; implying that phped is not assigning a value to the macro.

thanks, we'll fix this in v5.2 build 5234.

sweeeeeeeeeet.

Why %RealPath% does not make sense in File Bar Popup? If I want to encode only the file I have just edited, it is much easier to do so through the file tab than to open workspace and find the file there.

and you'll be able to do this easily with next major version of PhpED.

Great!

Please, insert a configuration option to force the encoder to set the modification timestamp of the encoded file the same as the source's. Simple thing that would let us control the modification parity encoded x source.
