Just wondering what the difference is between these two, especially since the new documentation only includes “exists”. Strangely, intellisense lists both?
Where have you seen folder.trueexists ?

If TrueExits… Exits, I suppose it works for Alias files.
Have a look at TrueChild… in the old API.
In the current Xojo versions, look at:

Maybe it’s your own extension method or it comes from a plugin.
Ok, my bad. We have an extension to Folderitem that one of our developers did to work around the “exists” problem when you have a UNC folder selected.
Universal Naming Convention ?
Yes, I think on Windows it may not return true if you are using a Universal Naming Convention.
