(Minor) Feature Request: Current Path Variable

[Reptorian1125]

Looking at substitution rule, there doesn't seem to be the current path variable. This is useful in case of files command.

So my idea is simply this:

$_path: String that returns current location. (CLI)

But, again, this is minor, and not really all that needed, but it's a idea.

Also, I searched updatexxxx.gmic with regex parameter \b\$_path\b, it's not used either.

In case of GUI plugin, it would be the same as $_path_rc or nan. Either works.

I found this BTW: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem/current_path

Does this solve your problem ?

No.

C:\Windows\System32>gmic echo ${-path_current}
[gmic]./ Start G'MIC interpreter (v.3.3.6).
./
[gmic]./ End G'MIC interpreter.

C:\Windows\System32>cd %gmic%

C:\Users\User\Pictures\gmic-qt-data>gmic echo ${-path_current}
[gmic]./ Start G'MIC interpreter (v.3.3.6).
./
[gmic]./ End G'MIC interpreter.

Ok, it actually worked!

C:\Users\User\Pictures\gmic-qt-data>gmic echo ${files\ 2,${-path_current}}
[gmic]./ Start G'MIC interpreter (v.3.3.6).
[gmic]./*substitute/ Get list of files and folders from location './'.

Closing this.
