Erm, no. Why is it the one I need to use is the one that returns the wrong
result?
Then I realised - "Temporary Items" isn't a standard Apple folder. So why
can I query the path to a folder that doesn't exist and get an incorrect
path back? Is it a variable I can set (which would be nice). Or should I use
Application Support for dumping temporary files in?
Well for one thing is IS a standard Apple folder, namely
+constant afdrtemp;
and for another, on my machine, for what it's worth, I get
path to temporary items
--> alias "d9:Temporary Items:501:Temporary Items:"
By running path to +constant afdrasup;, for example, the folder is
created if it does not exist.
