So it does (I just copied the debug code for this routine without looking at it). I can fix that at my end then, but that doesn't help if the path is wrong when fetching files.

An alternative might be to add a file_url_to_path() function to the platform specific directories, and modify the core code so it calls this rather than converting it itself. Chris
