I ignored it because it was apparent that you did not consider that there IS a way to get proper platform behavior without resorting to a "lowest common denominator" approach (which is what absolute and relative paths are) Absolute and relative paths will sort of work on OS X, but not in the ways that users expect. Moving a document should not lead to a "Not found" response. Absolute and relative paths on OS X will give you this behavior. It will annoy your users. > The email you replied to contained the disproof of the statement > you made. No, It contained an incorrect and poorly considered statement. No proof. They break when you move the target. This is unexpected behavior on a Mac. On Windows and Linux there is NO option like an alias so it's not unusual for a "shortcut" to break when the target moves. If you use the SaveInfo then things will work as expected on each platform. That's what it's for. However, is you want to ignore this that's your business. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
