My question is this. I think I read in the bug report that ".." will remain in the Folders List as valid for backwards compatibility. But I believe web app scripting does use and expects ".." to be a valid path and that this is a valid method to traverse directories especially in a web application script.So, yes, '..' should appear in 'the folders' for all platforms... However, I think it should be filed as an anomaly that it does (it shouldn't appear on any platforms as it communicates no useful information at all!)

Au contraire... I rely on this for directory walking.

@mwieder Well, you shouldn't.
Am I wrong with this?
And more importantly, not using ".." for path traversal will mean that my solution of HMVC for revIgniter will be more "invasive" to the core revIgniter framework. Do I need to go back and re-think how I've implemented directory traversals in HMVC revIgniter?
