Issue with getting the opened project's name

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 12:43:51 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to get the current opened project's name. Here is my code, which should work according to the documentation, but it doesn't seem to work:

GSErrCode            err;
    API_ProjectInfo info;
    
    err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_ProjectID, &info, nullptr);
    if (err != NoError){
        ErrorBeep ("APIEnv_ProjectID", err);
    }
    else{
        WriteReport("project path is %s", info.projectPath); // returns null always
        WriteReport("project name is %s", info.projectName); // returns null always
    }

Is there any other specific thing that should be done in order to make this work? Is the project name something different than the filename of the pln?

P.S. I am opening an already saved project.

Any help will be appreciated,
Julian

I have tried printing the untitled property:

WriteReport("project untitled is %s",(info.untitled)?"true":"false"); // returns false always

Why it says that the file is not saved? I'm opening an already saved project.
