GetFileObject does not work as expected

Hi,

the GetFileObject method does not seem to work. At least, I haven't been able to figure it out:

Code:

// Bug
dataBurner.CreateFolder("videos");
object test = dataBurner.GetFileObject("videos");
// --> null
test = dataBurner.GetFileObject("\\videos"); // according to docs
// --> null

Expected:
GetFileObject() returns a reference to the DataFolder object.

Actual result:
It doesn't seem to be possible to get a reference to any existing directories in order to add new files. Result is always null.

Hello

1) "object test = dataBurner.GetFileObject("videos");" - you are searching the FILE named "videos" in the root of the files tree;
2) "object test = dataBurner.GetFileObject("videos\");" - you are searching the FOLDER named "videos" in the root of the files tree;

Regards,

Dmitry

Hm...can there ever be a file AND a folder "videos"?

It was made to optimize the searching process ...

So .. if you are trying to search the videos folder you should append the "\" symbol at the end of path ... is it problem for you to do that?

OK, it works fine then, thanks. Can be confusing though.

Ok, It's good!

P.s. I think we can simplify this behaviour ... by ignoring the latest token "\"
