I didn't realize what a can of worms I was getting into by using
absolutepath. My app has been working for years under OS 9 without a hitch,
but it seems now that the move to OS X is exposing problems with
absolutepath. My file names and paths are all under 32 characters and we
are in a controlled environment so we will never have multiple volumes with
the same names.
Can you also be sure that your files use only MacRoman characters?
If so, then maybe this isn't the problem.
My app needs the absolutepath to pass to an AppleScript for further
processing. What are my alternatives?
Alas, none -- that is the other valid use of an AbsolutePath. (Still
evil, but a necessary evil in this case.)
Best,
