DirectoryUp doesn't seem to work. [message #18554]

I have a currentDir String that contains the directory last loaded into a FileList. I am adding a ".." item to the top of the FileList manually so that the user can navigate upwards by double clicking this, therefore I looked for a function to get the directory of the current directory and found DirectoryUp. Problem is, on Linux anyway, it doesn't seem to work.

String currentDir, file;
currentDir = "/home/Isaac/";
file = DirectoryUp(currentDir, true);
// At this point file seems to be a long string full of blanks.

I traced into this function and found it a little confounding, lots of intertwined execution paths for different platforms. If I do not specify the "basedir" value as true, the code actually gets into PLATFORM_X11 code near the bottom of the function - which I do not believe is correct. Linux should be a POSIX platform...

Anyway.. any help? Smile
