[append] vs. [appendfile] delta + question?

numero = 11353
interpreted = N
texte = In the latest webcat version:I got the [appendfile] construct to work fine from the tmpl(s) and it apparently uses : as the delimiter between folder references for the file path, e.g. somefolder:myfile if I wish to reference a file, myfile, in a subfolder called somefolder.I can't seem to get [append] construct to work from the tmpl(s). I have two databases with a header line containing the tab delimited field names and I haven't been able to add records at all to either database. I notice in the online docs, that the [append] construct docs state that the / is the folder delimiter. Is this true and is this inconsistent to appendfile? I have tried the following forms to get to my databases in a subfolder to the store folder: somefolder:invoice.db somefolder/invoice.db ./somefolder/invoice.db None of the above works!
