Can you test the volume that is currnetly selected?

[bagonterman]

I want to know if the folder I have selected in bridge can be identified as the folder selected?

Like if(00318-000.selected==true){//then do something) something to that nature. I can test if a volume

var myMacHotFolder=(Folder(["/Volumes/Hotfolders/OdystarHotfolder/eDesign"]).exists);

What I want to know is can it be identified as being selected in Bridge? Then I want to get the name of it.

You can get the current folder with :-

alert(app.document.presentationPath);

Sweet. Thank you Paul!

I am having difficulty with this  (app.document.presentationPath;)  on the PC side. I am running Windows 7. For some reason it is returning an incomplete string.

I am getting 45 characters and I should be getting 67. This works on the Mac side but not PC any Ideas??

I am wondering if possibly this is the length of the string? Would that matter?

[Paul Riggott]

No the string would have to be in excess of 256 chars.

Have you got any characters in that path that may cause a problem?

You could try this...

alert(decodeURI(app.document.presentationPath));

I am afraid that it returned the same result. Everything is there until the end and there is a folder called Pages but it is returning "//string of folders/Pag and it should be Pages. The es is getting chopped off.

?

OK. I think I understand my problem a little bit more. For some reason not all of the string is showing in the alert. When I write the value to a text file its all there. That doesn't exactly solve my problem but I am much closer now.

Now that I was able to get the correct string. I have solved my problem.
