Hi Chip,
Are you sure that is the exact path GET 4D FOLDER returns?
The tilde is the posix (uses slashes) equivalent of your home folder, but this
does not make sense in a HFS path (uses colons as folder separator). AFIK the
4D commands use HFS paths, not their posix counterpart.
One exception for Database folder Unix syntax.
But even for the unix syntax, 4D does not use the ~, but something like
/Users/{yourhomefoldername}/Library/Application Support/4D/
Even the Convert path system to POSIX command is using the full path.
Temporary folder also uses the HFS path notation.
The 4D document handling commands (Create document, Append document) on Mac use
HFS notation
You should check your pathname.
~:library:application support:4D: is not correct and will not work.
{yourdiskname}:Users:{yourhomefoldername}:Library:Application Support:4D:
should work.
