I've just spent the last 4 hours trying to work out why the "export field contents" script step would work when I wanted to export to:

 

Get(DocumentsPath).

 

On OS 10.8, Get(DocumentsPath) returns "/Macintosh HD/Users/<my user>/

 

On OS 10.6 it returns /<my user>/

 

This is new to me... and I can't find this different mentioned anywhere in FM documentation or otherwise.

 

Is this old news?

Well, I'm on 10.6.8 and it returns:

 

<HD>/Users/<my user>/Documents/

 

And as far as I know it always has.

Intriguing... So I did a little googling and it appears it's because I'm using FileFault.

 

 

In FileMaker the Get ( DesktopPath ) function returns:

/HDName/Users/username/Desktop/

 

but if you're a FileVault user it returns:

/username/Desktop/
