Finder scripting and FileVault


  • Subject: Finder scripting and FileVault

After spending a couple of hours trying to debug this, I vaguely remembered having read something about it.

With a normal user directory, "path to home folder" gives "Macintosh HD:Users:username:". But with a FileVault user directory, "path to home folder" just gives "username:" (which makes sense, since the home directory is effectively a separately mounted disk image"), but then

	tell app "Finder"
		folder "username:"
	end tell

give an error: Can't get folder "username:"

Is this a known bug in Finder scripting with FileVault (or a "restriction")?

Thanks,

	Neil Faiman
