Tag (for Folder Name :-1) - I think the user manual is incorrect?
Hi all,
[EDIT: for some reason in this post & title I can't enter the actual tag that returns a foldername.
I had a whole other section on JS but the forum breaks it, so I removed it. Maybe I'll add some screenshots later]

If you use [the folder-name tag] you probably know this, but the user manual says that returns the highest-level folder in the directory path.
(from user manual on ):
> "A negative index selects a folder from left to right.
> [...] for c:\programs\games\new\mine sweeper\highscore\file.txt [the folder-name tag] returns new.
> [...] [the folder-name tag with a parameter of -1] returns programs."
Actually, [folder-name tag -1] returns the drive letter in uppercase. [folder-name tag -2] returns "programs".
A small thing, but could be useful in copy/move modes, and in javascript for constructing new paths.
Best,
DF

BTW, that <subfolder> tag is neat. Kim snuck that in on version 4.21 and I hadn't noticed it [forgot about it] until now.
