Hi,
it is possible to return the folder name without file mask in the "Count Files" test?
Example:
Folder: \\server1\e\archive
File name mask: *.*
I was only able to find these variables:
%Path% returns the full path to the folder plus file mask: \\server1\e\archive\*.*
%Object% returns the Folder name: archive
%Object2% returns the file mask used for the test: *.*
Count Files: Return the full path name without file mask
How can I change this to a feature request?
Use case:
When using %Path% in email notifications, the UNC path is displayed as hyperlink (in Outlook).
But the file mask is causing a problem because when clicking on it, an error pops up: "Cannot find file '\\server1\e\archive\*.*'. Verify the path or Internet address is correct."
The hyperlink works fine without the file mask: '\\server1\e\archive'

Starting with a couple of dozen or so but will be adding more. I wanted to avoid entering this manually for each alert because this is easily missed when changing the path or copying alerts.
For instance, I am already using %CommentLine2% to enter the "Count files older than" value (e.g. "60 minutes"). What happened a few times is that I changed the value in the textbox but forgot to update %CommentLine2% accordingly because the CommentLine variables are only visible after clicking on the "Edit comment lines" button. This is where a variable would be very useful, too.
