Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually my program is a finder like program, which saves file (in
path hierarchy).
And the hierarchy I mentioned earlier is the actual hierarchy on the
user's file system.
I'm not hard coding anything.
What I think is happening is that NSFM's changeCurrentDirectoryPath:
is failing, leading to a zero byte file.
Thanks,
Nick

What does foreign language have to do with it? Are you perhaps using
accented characters like é in your pathnames? You need to be very
careful when doing that, because the filesystem stores it in
decomposed form as e + ´, whereas if you've hardcoded this path in
your code (or strings file), you will try to access it as the composed
form é.
So in short, don't do this. Use low-ASCII characters in all of your
hardcoded paths, and localize the directory if the user might see it.
The documentation has more information on localized pathnames:
