It now seems to me that the issue is if you have

f.shellPath, and f.exists=false then you get the absolute path.
I tried referring to a non-existing file in the temporary items folder. If this file is "F":

msgBox f.shellPath produces what you would expect from the absolute path. msgBox f.parent.shellPath+"\"+f.name gives you a dos path as you would want.

If this rings as true, or as a valid bug, and anyone else wants to report it, I would appreciate it. Long day, I'm spent... if it isn't bugged by tomorrow, then I'll do it myself.

G'night.

I'm on the same version, but I am seeing this on non English installs. I'll try English when I get to the office today.

Careful here as I still suspect that something isn't right in RB and I don't expect that language version makes any difference. There is an outstanding shellpath issue that still seems to visit itself upon us in seemingly random circumstances.

We've seen this on Mac and Windows even though the report focuses on Mac. Sometimes we get back the Shellpath ( /Volumes/My Volume ), sometimes we get the Shellpath duplicated ( /Volumes/My Volume/My Volume ), and sometimes we get back the AbsolutePath ( My Volume: ). All this from the simple:

        fi.ShellPath

Call (fi is the FolderItem).
