Hello,

Is it intended that import of file as array does not work if path is specified for import file name?

import("dir/file.ext"); // does not work
import("file.ext"); // works if dir is added to -J list

I believe it would be convenient if I could just specify one -J path (e.g. -Jviews) and import any file from nested directories just by providing relative path from one of -J dirs.

(checked on latest DMD under Windows; replacing / with \\ does not help)


Best regards,
     Vadim

That was a bug that was recently fixed.

Thank you!
It looks like it's not yet included into recent DMD beta available for download.

the latest beta is always for a "point" release so it only includes regressions fixed from the previous "discrete" (.0) release, not the bug fixed since the "discrete" release to the "point" release.
