no that is not the exact path -
O 'translated' to human readable/ typable form :)
the path returned is valid it appears to be a permissions issue
I just don't understand why...
Hence the ask abbot what/how permission 4D uses when trying to create/write a
file

> 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.
