I've just noticed that this code in Script Editor ...
set docPath to path of (document of window 1)
returns a path of the form ...
/Volumes/diskName/folderName1/folderName2/...
EXCEPT when folderName1 is on the startup disk.
In this case, the path returned is ...
/folderName1/folderName2/...
Surely there is a reason for this, but I have failed to find it.
(Anyone know? bug?)
I worked-around with this code ...
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"/"}
set nameList to (text items of docPath) as list
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
if (item 1 of nameList) = "Volumes" then
set docPath to (items 3 thru -1 of nameList) as text
else
tell application "Finder" to (name of startup disk) as text
set docPath to the result & nameList as text
end if
set docAlias to the result as alias
But is there more to this problem than I have yet seen?
