[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54456] Implementation of isfolder

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #54456 (project octave):

I guess that's another bug in Octave, then, exist(..., 'dir') does not find
directories by name on the load path.


>> mkdir ('/tmp/foo');
>> exist ('foo', 'dir')
ans = 0
>> addpath ('/tmp');
>> exist ('foo', 'dir')
ans = 0
>> cd /tmp
>> exist ('foo', 'dir')
ans =  7


But we should not change that until we work out the differences between isdir
and isfolder, since other functions use isdir, and the logic may break if the
behavior of isdir changes unexpectedly.
