<p dir="auto">The assignment could be written shorter as: <code>SETPTR(uri, g_path_get_dirname(uri));</code> but this is rather a matter of taste.</p>
<p dir="auto">I tested the changes and it "probably" works. I cannot test for sure as my <code>/</code> (root) is not writable for my user and this is good. This is probably also why nobody noticed earlier, I guess the root directory isn't writable for most users, maybe except on Windows and macOS.</p>
