File function is different in 2.8 than in 2.7

Hello,
I'm on the way to convert a huge app from 2.7 and 2.8 and running it for the first time, I noticed that the line:
File(Workdir()+"*.*")
in 2.7 returns TRUE but in 2.8 returns FALSE. Trying on X# returns TRUE.
Is that a known issue? Is there a way to have the same behaviour?
Thanks
Antonello

HI Antonello,
Where does Workdir() point to in the VO28 case? I do not have access to it right now to test it, but IIRC in VO28 by default it points to a My Documents folder, that might be empty indeed so File() doesn't find an files and correctly returns FALSE. I think VO27 points to the VO Bin folder and X# to the fodler where the .exe is located.

Hi Chris,
workDir() looks to point the current exe path correctly.
Thanks

File function is different in 2.8 than in 2.7

HI Antonello,
I just checked VO28SP4, indeed it seems that when you use the * or *.* wildcards it returns FALSE, even if files do exist in the folder. At least if you specify *.txt and there are .txt files, then it returns TRUE.
This indeed looks like a bug of VO28 to me, but unfortunately we can't do anything about it now...Only workaround I can think of is to redefine the function in your own code, so it behaves as in VO27 and as in X#.

Hi Chris,
ideed, it seems the only solution.
thanks for your time
