This is more or less a 1:1 translation of the macro code to python.
pathlib.Path
. In principle one could do the same with strings and something likeos.path.join()
to get platform-independent joining of paths (one could also useos.sep
with string concatenation to be even closer to the macro example. While this would work it encourages bad practices.pathlib.Path
objects add so much useful functionality (e.g.path.name
to get the filename,path.parent
to get the parent directory,.stem
,.suffix
... so much that I missed when doing a ij macro).fixes #683
