Hi, I need to do a validation and check if the image is running in an usb with a spefic name. I found how to determine the execution path: FileSystem disk workingDirectory, but I wolud like to obtain the disk name and didn't find a message for that. Does anybody know how to do this?

Not that I can help :) but what operating system? Can you give one example of a disk name you would expect to get?

cheers, Ben

I am pretty sure that it is not possible. Getting the volume label is platform dependent. And I can not find any reference on this in the fileplugin. On windows you would need to call GetVolumeInformation(). A quick solution for win32 with help from NativeBoosts FFI: NBWin32Shell class >>getVolumeLabel: aPath buffer: aBuffer size: anInteger <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode > ^ self nbCall: #( bool GetVolumeInformationA ( String aPath, char* aBuffer, int anInteger, 0, 0, 0, nil, 0)) module: #Kernel32 For example use that: |diskpath buffer label root | diskpath:= FileSystem disk workingDirectory path. root := diskpath segments first, diskpath delimiter asString. buffer := String new:255. label:=(NBWin32Shell getVolumeLabel: root buffer: buffer size: (buffer size)) ifTrue:[buffer allButLast] ifFalse:['']. label A note on GetVolumeInformation, if you want to retrieve the label of the current working directory, you'll have to add a trailing delimiter (c:\ works, c: only works if it isn't the root of the current working directory!) best regards Nicolai
