[BUG] User Defined Filter Operators Using Functions Do Not Work When Used in Filter Expression in FileSystemPaths

[kookma]

Describe the bug

Filter expressions in $:/config/FileSystemPaths if use custom filter operators will not work.

Expected behavior

I defined a custom function in a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Global

\function move.to.tasks()  [tag[task]!tag[done]addprefix[tasks/]

Then in the $:/config/FileSystemPaths I used a filter like below

[has[title]move.to.tasks[]]

It not only does not work, but also makes none of other filter expression to run!

TiddlyWiki Configuration

• TiddlyWiki 5.3.5
• Edge 128

[saqimtiaz]

Globals are not available in the evaluation of file system paths.

[kookma]

Is it true for $:/tags/Macro? or other tiddler names? like [preifx{myTiddler}]?

[saqimtiaz]

All global variables are not available when evaluating $:/config/FileSystemPaths

Thank you for clarification! I keep this open as a hint for other potential users.

@kookma I think that we should try and resolve this by providing support for globals in file system path filters. See #8544
