[Bug] Inconsistent Batch parameter   [Zeta]

In Response to: [Zeta] v2.4.179 Now Available (Kim Henkel)

The "%r" and "%jr" batch parameters were originally intended to retrieve the root directory path of a file while in a Branch window. They are therefore called "Root of Branch" in the Help file.

However, it's helpful that "%jr" returns the directory path whether or not the opposite side is in a Branch window, and does so even if it's in the Tree window. This then becomes a simple and useful substitution for "%j2:%j3".

The inconsistency is that "%r" returns no path if the current side is in the Tree window. It would be helpful if it behaved the same as "%jr".
