Re: [Vala] [newbie] file_info.get_file_type

[Charles Hixson <charleshixsn earthlink net>]

Thank you.  That got me to the next problem, which is that if I invoke 
it ./walker ../, then the result of :
            string    d_name    =    file_info.get_name();
            File    f    =    File.new_for_path (d_name);
d_name is something like:
/home/charles/projects/Vala/Tutorials/tut2/tut2
or
/home/charles/projects/Vala/Tutorials/tut2/tut1
where:
/home/charles/projects/Vala/Tutorials/tut2/
is the directory that contains the application.

Apparently what's happening is the path returned is being built by 
prefixing the path to the directory that contains the application to the 
name of the file.  I think I can get around this, sort of, by passing 
string for the path on each invocation, and building that string by 
appending the name of the current file, but that seems clunky, and it 
also seems like I must be doing something wrong when I ask for the file 
path.

OTOH, this works properly is I copy the application to the root that I 
wish to walk from, and either don't pass any parameters or just pass 
"./" (either with or without the quotes).
