Hi Folks,

Ken Dickey and the Cuis team found some... unexpected behaviour in
FileDirectory, and just as importantly, have found a fix. Please take
a look at the change, and if we're OK with it, some kind soul can push
it to Trunk :)

There's at least one bug, in that Juan Vuletich found that on Windows
opening a FileList causes an infinite recursion.

Thanks,

frank

Hi Frank,

In case you missed the Cuis thread on this:

Attached is my suggested fix for the schizophrenic behavior of

  (FileDirectory default directoryContentsFor: '') explore.

which on Linux gives directory entries with file names and info from
my home directory but with directory info from the image launch
directory.

This is the same behavior on Cuis current and Squeak 4.5.

I am not on the Squeak developers' list, but I suspect you will do the
proper thing here.  ;^)

Cheers,
-KenD
