Hi. The simplest way to find the problem (if my case it was muuuch more than this), I found the following:� MacOS is case insensitive (I've just figure it out).

Since it is a UNIX at the end, I thought it was case sensitive, but it seems it is not. Now, suppose that in the directory where my image is, I have the file called 'zaraza'. If I evaluate this:

(FileDirectory default fileOrDirectoryExists: 'zaraza')� ->>>> true

I should get true. And the same with:


(FileDirectory default fileOrDirectoryExists: 'ZARAZA')� ->>>> false

But....I get false instead of true. Which is wrong in Mac OS.
The problem is that� FileDirectory default� -----> UnixFileDirectory

And this is because

FileDirectory class >> activeDirectoryClass
��� "Return the concrete FileDirectory subclass for the platform on which we are currently running."

��� FileDirectory allSubclasses do: [:class |
��� ��� class isActiveDirectoryClass ifTrue: [^ class]].


that loop answers UnixFileDirectory. This is because:

nixFileDirectory class >> isActiveDirectoryClass
��� "Does this class claim to be that properly active subclass of FileDirectory for this platform?
��� Default test is whether the primPathNameDelimiter matches the one for this class. Other tests are possible"

��� ^self pathNameDelimiter = self primPathNameDelimiter

answers true.

But anyway, why MacFileDirectory class >> isActiveDirectoryClass� answers false?

If we see:

MacFileDirectory class >> isActiveDirectoryClass
��� ^ super isActiveDirectoryClass
��� ��� and: [(Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1201) isNil
��� ��� ��� ��� or: [(Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1201) asNumber <= 31]]


(Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1201��� ->�� '255'


So.....my questions are:

1) Should it answer Unix one, or MacOS?� I guess than MacOS, and if it is unix, then we have to solve the kind of problem I have
2) Why (Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1201��� ->�� '255'
3) Why not using "Smalltalk platformName" to detect which FileDirectory to use??

Thanks
