New “Get 4D File” command



Product

In 4D v16, a new Get 4D File command returns the file path to different 4D files. You can now easily retrieve the path for the following files:

  • Backup configuration file
  • Last backup file
  • User structure settings file
  • User data settings file

For example, to retrieve the Backup configuration file path, you use to write with 4D v15:

$textPath:=Get 4D folder(Database folder)+"Preferences"+Folder separator+"Backup"+Folder separator+"Backup.xml"

With 4D v16, you just need to write:

$textPath:=Get 4D file(Backup configuration file)

For more details, please take a look at the Get 4D file command documentation.
