if this is the case, that the fullpath is the resource.getPath(), then

-1 don't use this

if the selectors 'catch' they should not be included in the path.
rather assume a non-existing resource
at /content/some/path/foo. the script can still assemble the full path
by concatenating all selectors and extensions.

is there a reason why using the full path ?
