Yo should use #pathString to obtain the full path of the file reference.
#asString isn't implemented in FileReference and it's inherited from Object, which delegates it to the default implementation of #printString, which isn't intented to be user friendly, and not for conversion.

Thanks for the explanation Esteban. Now the followup question is whether its natural to expect something better from #asString, and other people will fall into the same trap? cheers -ben

A frequent thing to do is to work with files, so their paths.
Take the image directory for example:
`FileLocator imageDirectory resolve asString`
1) Whatâs the reason to make `aFileReference asString` to be different to what `aFileReference fullName` answers?
2) Whatâs the practical use of the current answer of `aFileReference asString`?
