Macintosh OS X Path Problems when using DWfile.exists
Hello,
When working with a MACINTOSH OS X and when I try to do either a
DWfile.exists( dreamweaver.getConfigurationPath() );
DWfile.exists( dreamweaver.getTempFolderPath() );
I will get a return value of "FALSE" when doing it as if it doesn't exists,
which doesn't make sense. I can do this on Windows and I will get a value of
"TRUE"
SO, my question IS THIS....
What is the EXACT path for say getting to a file on the Dreamweaver config
folder for MACINTOSH? With Windows I have no problem, but this MACINTOSH
path name is really getting to me.
First, when using the command:
DWfile.exists( what_Macintosh_OSX_Path_Syntax_Is_Permissable_Here );
QUESTION 1:
Should there be a file:/// in front? Or should it be just a slash slash //
QUESTION 2:
Should I be converting the slashes to colon's :
QUESTION 3:
If I am testing the existence of a folder, as opposed to a file, should
their be an ending slash?
QUESTION 4:
If the Name of the Macintosh Hard Drive is NOT
Macintosh HD
will that matter? It appears to be as I install an extension on a Mac that
uses the name Macintosh HD it works. However, if it doesn't have the name
Macintosh HD, Like DarthVaderHD, it doesn't.
MORE QUESTIONS:
When I do the command:
dreamweaver.getConfigurationPath()
I get a path of
file:///NameOfMacHardDrive/Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX
2004/Configuration
Additionally, when I need to get at certain files on for a specific user:
should it be
file:///NameOfMacHardDrive/Users/UserName/Library/Application
Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX 2004/Configuration
NOTICE how the path is different in more than just one way. The "Macromedia"
and the "Dreamweaver MX 2004" folders are combined as opposed to being
separate, i.e.
Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX 2004 <-- two (2) folders
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 <-- one (1) folder
WOW, all this for a simple path on the Mac OS X!!!!!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
