Re: sysError List?
Hi Ralf, Are you doing this in an LC Server by accessing the script through a web-browser such as Safari? As I’m not getting a path - what path are you getting specifically? I’m still trying to locate where my temp files are ending up. I don’t know if they are just going to the bit bucket in the sky or what! If this is working for you given the above parameters then it probably means it isn’t a bug with LC but a problem with my system or some quirk with setup of the server. Thanks in advance.

Re: sysError List?
MacOS 10.12.4
LC server 8.1.4-rc-2
Your script works as expected here,
yields the path to the temporary items folder.

Re: sysError List?
I don't normally use LC Server because its syntax cannot be tested in the IDE, preferring to use standalones in server apps. But I just downloaded LCS 8,.1.4 RC2, and running it from the command line with your sample script yields the expected valid path to my temp folder.

Re: sysError List?
Hi Richard,
Ok, I’ll try an upgrade to 8.1.4 RC2 to see if that works,
and then get back to you.

That value is either accurate or inaccurate. Either way, it seems a bug
- the question is, where?
If accurate, it would appear there's something very unusual about your
OS config, since temp files are a common necessity in modern OSes.
If inaccurate, it would appear to be a bug in LC 8.1.4 RC1.
Have you tried that in 8.1.4 RC2?
http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/
If the problem is repeatable with the latest build you might want to
file a bug report on that.
FWIW, testing both LC 8.1.4 RC2 and 9.0 DP6 I get a valid path to my
system's temp folder.

Hi Richard,
LC version 8.1.4-rc-1

put specialFolderPath("documents”)

Scary. Looks like the specialFolderPath function is returning empty
with the "temporary" constant on your system?
LC and OS versions?
Just for diagnostics, what does this do there?:
put specialFolderPath("documents")

What path do you get with the specialFolderPath function?, e.g.:
put specialFolderPath("temporary") &"/livecode_qpSKBPng" \
into tPath

Hi Richard, Sorry it has been a couple days before I could get back to this task. Ok, so my file uploaded to: /tmp/livecode_qpSKBPng I thought that perhaps tmp was a hidden folder so I looked on my Mac after first unhiding all files. I’m still not seeing it. Where is this located? Then I’m getting an error 20 when I try to rename (move) the file to the proper folder where I want it to go. I don’t know what error 20 is. Does it mean it is a permissions problem? The file wasn’t found? I don’t know. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Re: sysError List?
Hi Richard, I did some experiments and did get one instance of rename to work properly. Apparently I had a permissions problem with writing to the folder/file. I did the search on google for macOS errors. The lists that I found weren’t much help and said at the very beginning that they weren’t up to date. It also stated they could in fact be entirely wrong due to frequent updates of error codes. Other issues I’m running into are: 1. I’m running into some 32,767 array size error when trying to upload large images to the server. Images smaller than the magic figure upload fine, and larger files over that figure throw and error message and fail to upload. 2. Where can I find the LiveCode tmp folder where the images are initially uploaded? I need the complete file path to that so I can move the images where I want them. Unless there is a way I can upload directly to the file folder I want? Thanks for your help!
