Exists() used to work to determine the existence of a directory; but now (with Hollywood 3.0) it only works for files. So is there a new way to check to see if a directory exists? IsDirectory() doesn't work but comes up with an error if the specified directory does not exist.

I know that I could turn off ExitOnError(), check with IsDirectory(), examine the error code, and then turn ExitOnError() back on again; but is there an easier way?

Thanks,

Hmm, this is a bug of 3.0. It should really work with directories, too. I will fix this in the next version.

Until then, you need to use some workaround.
