Paths on the boot volume don't include the name of the volume. (The boot volume - instead of the desktop - is the filesystem root in OS X, so there's actually a reason for this.) If the file is on the boot volume, the path will look something like: /Applications/Test Apps/mystack.mc but if it's on a non-boot volume named, say, "Backup Disk", the path will look like: /Volumes/Backup Disk/Applications/Test Apps/mystack.mc So the path is unique even though it doesn't include the boot volume. If you need the boot volume's name, it's the first one in "the drives". -- Jeanne A. E.
