Bug? Disabled Group, Active Aliases

Post by dalayr »

I am disabling an alias group using disableAlias, and then checking isActive for one of the aliases within that disabled group and it returns it as an active alias. Is this a bug or have I misunderstood the commands? And if it is the latter, how can I check whether what I enter on the command line is an alias and part of an active group without actually using the alias?

NOTE: When I look at the alias tree, the aliases under a disabled group as grey (rather than blue), but still have checkmarks.

Thanks!

Though it is marked as active, if any of its "ancestors" (parents, usually a "folder" icon) are inactive then it won't be (which is why it is shown in grey).

I think it is an issue with the current implementation, it should not be telling you that an item is active if it's inactive due to an ancestor.
