If I recall correctly, the OS X routines that are based on paths
can't represent files that don't exist. To do what you want, you
would need to strip off the last part of the path, GetFolderItem on
that, then call .Child to get a reference to the nonexistent file.
Note that this code:
f1 = GetFolderItem(tmpPath, FolderItem.PathTypeShell) // (1)
if f1 = Nil Then
Debug.Print "f1 is Nil, creating folder"
f1 = New FolderItem(tmpPath, FolderItem.PathTypeShell) // (2)
is a bit nonsensical, since GetFolderItem and New FolderItem do
exactly the same thing, except that the latter raises an exception to
indicate failure while the former returns Nil. So if you failed at
point (1), it will always be fruitless to try again in form (2).
But as I look at your message again, I'm confused -- you say you
already have code that walks through the path, creating missing
directories as you go. So you shouldn't need to be using
PathTypeShell, or any other path type for that matter -- you can just
start at the top, and give .Child one file name at a time, can't you?
Best,
