BUG REPORT - File Vault

Here is something interesting, unfortunate, and somewhat funky:

With File Vault turned OFF this line of code returns the following:

path to library folder from user domain
-- returns alias "Macintosh HD:Users:mmunro:Library:"

With File Vault turned ON things change:

path to library folder from user domain
-- returns alias "mmunro:Library:"

With File Vault turned ON with works fine:

open alias "mmunro:Library:"

With File Vault turned OFF the line above will fail. Interestingly, if
you save the code in a file (open alias "mmunro:Library:") with File
Vault ON and then turn File Vault OFF it will automatically change to
(open alias "Macintosh HD:Users:mmunro:Library:")

If your script turns aliases into strings (like I do) and then you try
to open the folder, etc. your script will fail with File Vault turned
on.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?


Yours truly,

Mark Munro
