Will non-packaged applications only get non-packaged paths this way?
find_paths() is independent of the caller. find_path() should return a
non-packaged path, iff codePointer refers to a non-packaged object.
But isn't it actually is yourself you care about the most? :-)
I mean, isn't it possible to determine the type of directories you want
to get by the path of the executable of the current team?
Also, couldn't find_directory() have the same magic, and return always
the correct directory?
As an alternative for find_path():
[BPathFinder]
Works for me.
Regarding find_paths(), I'm not sure it's worth doing a separate class
for it just for getting the paths. The only optional parameters are
subPath and flags and I think both will be commonly used.
I would just put it into the BPathFinder class as well, to have it all
in one place.
For convenience I was thinking of a BMergedDirectory initializer or
AddDirectories() method that would add paths found this way. It would be
nice to have a sub or wrapper class that would also add the node
monitoring support often needed.
Sounds lovely :-)
When will it be ready? ;-)
Bye,
Axel.
