Purpose of rb_base_dir and rb_base_url ?

What is the purpose of rb_base_dir and rb_base_url system settings?

They don’t seem to have any effect on which directory you can browse within the Files panel, or TVs, or in TinyMCE’s resource browser. I’ve search the core code base and the only referenceI can find to them is in comments and in the settings themselves. Are they legacy which can be ignored / deleted?

It would actually be quite useful to be able to specify base paths for TinyMCE file browser, but suspect this should be a setting for the plugin, rather than core system?

They are deprecated in favor of the filemanager_* settings.

Cool, thanks - I see there’s a commit to TinyMCE for the filemanager settings too. Slightly OT but do you think it would be useful to have settings for TinyMCE to allow you to specify path / URL of the various file browsers - e.g. to say TinyMCE image browser should always look in folder X (like the image TV path settings)?

Tried to get working rb-base-dir so that you have "files", "flash" and "images" directories under resources (was assets at Evo) and if you open from tinyMCE image browser then you're automatically at images folder, when file browser then at "files" folder etc.

So it's not suggested to use that functionality on Revo?
