FWIW, I don't share your opinion that we have an obligation to support converting between a "nasty internal string representation" and the long version which is only an issue for the Windows platform and therefor it's absolutely reasonable IMHO to require the operating system specific method. Indeed it seems like Apple doesn't much care either. This is what is returned in WO for Windows: NSHomeDirectory(): C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\ayers NSTemporaryDirectory(): C:\DOKUME~1\ayers\LOKALE~1\Temp But I guess if you supplied a patch to -baseadd's GSCategories (I guess a category to NSFileManager), I would support it as a convenience method to ease the pain for cross platform development. /me wonders what these paths look like from unix-like machine when the mount the paths via samba and whether there we would be asking for more trouble in such cases.
