[AL] get_datafile_property

[Tomas D. <zi...@om...>]

Hi!

After some time wasted wondering what was wrong, I came to the conclusion 
that get_datafile_property always returns blank strings if I pass it a 
datafile object loaded with load_datafile_object(). If however I pass it a 
datafile loaded by load_datafile(), it returns the property strings just 
fine.

Can anyone verify that this behaviour is correct? And is this behaviour 
intentional?

It would be _very_ usefull to me to get the properties of the objects, and 
it would be _very_ impractical for me to load entire datafililes just to 
get those names.

I may not use the absolute newest allegro (I don't bother update at every 
new minor release), but I can't imagine the datafile code having changed 
any lately anyway.


I guess if I cannot get the property of singly-loaded objects, I will have 
to write my own wrapper for objects I write in and out of datafiles, which 
would be a waste of energy considering I only want a single property 
attached to each object.


Thanks for your time,
