Directoryexists does not recognise directory if path contains a separator at the end on Windows.
Bug?

That is why I need to that.
String dir = GetFileDirectory ( filename );

if ( dir.EndsWith ( DIR_SEPS ) )
dir = dir.Left ( dir.GetCount() - 1 );

if ( DirectoryExists ( dir ) )
{

In this case, our behavior is simply the same as the behavior of API we are calling...

My take is that with separator at the end, it is not correct directory path anymore. Win32 API agrees.
