Description

[Henrik Gemal]

if I have something like:
DirIO.get("CurProcD").path.toLowerCase();
I get something like:
<c:\progra~1\mozilla\nightly\mozill~1\>

why dont I get:
<c:\program files\mozilla\nightly\mozilla firefox\>

I just thought that when I'm on a OS that supports LFN I'd get a LFN.

The problem is that I'm detecting applications from my extension and would then
like to excluded the current running browser.

Basically I end up comparing this:
<c:\program files\mozilla\nightly\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe>
with
DirIO.get("CurProcD").path.toLowerCase();
<c:\progra~1\mozilla\nightly\mozill~1\>
and they dont match

is there a way to get the LFN from a path?

You should probably be using nsIFile.equals()
