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?)
That's the way it is. A leading slash means the startup disk, unless
it is followed by "Volumes".
You can get it to return the entire path with this syntax:
set docPath to POSIX file (path of (document of window 1))
But it will be in colon delimited format instead of slash delimited:
--> file "Dora:Users:michelle:Desktop:abc.scpt"
-- Michelle
