H Michael- that seems strange, I just tried the following on a Pharo8 with Catalina:
OSPlatform current currentWorkingDirectoryPath. > /Users/macta/Dev/Smalltalk/Pharo/Pharo 8.0 - 64bit I’m using PharoLauncher, although my images are not stored in Documents, but ~/Dev/Smalltalk/Pharo (I adjusted the launcher settings). Not sure if that makes a difference? Or - perhaps you didn’t allow Pharo disk read privileges (that is a new security check in Catalina - see the OSX System Preferences, Security and Privacy, Files and Folders. Mine has a pharo entry with access to Downloads, Documents and Desktop).
