Do filters have access to the script path and name?

I reckon Dividee will be the first to answer this. :)

I am implementing a feature that allows manual override of Telecide/Decimate decisions (you know, the mouth thing :)). So I need to look for a file that has the name of the script but with .ovr instead of .avs. Does a filter have access to the path and name of the invoked script file? I'd like to avoid specifying it as a parameter, or using a fixed file name, if possible.

I'm pretty sure, that the script-directory is "current" directory, when Avisynth runs.
For example, you can use AviSource("anim.avi") if "anim.avi" is in the same directory as your avs file.

I wasn't the first to answer (currently I only have the time to check the forum once a day :().
Yes, the path is the current directory, but it doesn't give you the file name. I don't think there is a way to do it now, but I can easily add this to avisynth, in a $ScriptName$ variable for instance (like the $PluginDir$ variable). But you should be prepared to catch the exception if the variable doesn't exist when, for instance, a filtergraph is created programmaticaly and no script is used.
Agreed ?

@sh0dan

Thank you. That is what I have done now.

@dividee

Thank you for the response. It turns out that the path is enough, because I am allowing the user to specify the file name. So I don't really have a need for that addition. Do more important things. :)
