In my experience this is normal OS X/Unix behavior. The "root" level of the system is defined as the "top" level of the boot volume, so in a terminal if you do 'cd /' you are taken to the top level of the boot drive. If my boot volume is 'Macintosh HD' that information is not included in the path name. However, if I want to access a file or folder on another volume I must preface the cd command with /Volumes/ DriveName.

The behavior is Rev is consistent with the unix file system model and is completely expected.

Hello all -

don't want to distract anyone from the serious business of playing with translucent windows, (well done Runtime on 2.6) but could anyone shed any light on this???:

If I do: "get the filename of this stack" on my G5(Tiger) it returns "/Volumes/Starfish Internal 250/Scripter/filename test/ filename test.app/Contents/MacOS/filename test" i.e. the full path.

If I run it on G3 laptop(Panther) it returns "/filename test.app/ Contents/MacOS/filename test" (whereas to be consistent, it should have returned /Volumes/ Powerbook HD/filename test.app/Contents/MacOS/filename test")

This is a big problem for me as I need to pass the path information to a text file to be read by another (SC) application.

Can anyone offer any advice? Is it a bug?  Is there a workaround?

All the best,

Chris
