[3.34 BUG] Comments and aliases
|
Commenting out lines that run an alias doesn't seem to work, the alias still gets called (it does work if you put a space after the //). Simple example:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<alias name="test" copy="yes">
<value>#print "test alias fired"</value>
</alias>
<alias name="test2" copy="yes">
<value>//test</value>
</alias>
</cmud> |
The single line in test2 is commented out, nothing should happen when it is run, but it calls the test alias and prints test alias fired. |

Confirmed, and quite curious about the real situation that brought this up.

I think comments have always required a space after the "//". I never thought of that as a bug, but I suppose it probably should be.

No real interesting story about what brought it up... I tried to comment out an alias, and it didn't work :P And comments work without a space normally, so it's definitely not required. I did a quick search through the help and didn't find anything about commenting, so I can't say for sure which is more correct.

Ahhh, of course, I should have thought of that. Commenting out aliases works fine if it's not in the root of the window. I suppose the real issue here is that Zugg decided to use // for two different things. Why, I have no idea.

the // follows the standard nomenclature for extended path names
