new lua function : getfilename

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

i was trying to write an export function for lua but I need some functions like:

- get_path = returns path where the currently edited picture is stored
- get_filename = returns the filename of the picture (picture.gif)
- get_basename = returns the filename of the picture without the extension 
(picture)
- get_number_of_used_palette_colors

... greetings HoraK-FDF

I'm pretty sure the last one is available in DawnBringer's toolbox as a lua 
implementation.

I'll make a single one that gets the full path to the picture, then you'll have 
to use lua to split the string and extract the parts you want.

from http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/wiki/BrushFactory i find getfilename(), 
but how can i use it on a snippet? - when i use "(name, path) = getfilename()" 
i get "')' expected near ','", and when i use "name, path = getfilename()" i 
get "attempt to call global 'getfilename' (a nil value)" - i'm curious about 
using it like for saving text or binary files of information extracted from the 
picture

The right syntax is the second, without parentheses. The function is only 
available in the 2.4WIP version
