Hi !

I made this if it's ok for you i'll post it on fogbugs :

AbstractFileReference
createFile
"Create��if necessary a��file��for the receiver. If the parent does not exist return an exception"
self parent ensureCreateDirectory.
self writeStream close.
createDirectory
"Verifies that the directory does not exist and only creates if necessary. Do not remove files contained if they exist.If the parents does not exist return an exception"
self parent exists ifFalse:[self error:'The parent directory does not exist'].
^ self resolve ensureCreateDirectory
ensureCreateFile
"Create��if necessary a��file��for the receiver. If the parent does not exist creates it"
self parent ensureCreateDirectory.
self writeStream close.
ensureCreateDirectory "Verifies that the directory does not exist and only creates if necessary. Do not remove files contained if they exist.If the parents folder does not exist create it" ^ self resolve ensureCreateDirectory

oui moi aussi��
je me demandais si on devait introduire une autre methode mais en fait��
le nouveau comportement est compatible donc je le ferais.��

Tu en penses quoi toi ?
Je trouve ��a illogique que ensureCreate ne signifie pas la meme chose pour un dossier ou pour un fichier.

For me ensureCreateFolder is made to be sure the folder is created, if you make '/home/a/b/c/d' with a b c d not existing it will create all of them.
ensureCreateFile should do the same thing no ?

because it's like this

ensureCreateFolder : create the folder structure if necessary
ensureCreateFile : create the file if necessary

I really don't see any gain from changing existing behavior and introducing potential problems.
If I ask for file to be created, I don't expect that the system will suddenly start creating folders, that's a unintentional side effect.
If you need it for your convenience, then it's dead-easy to implement without breaking existing stuff.

Yes but why ensureCreateFile then ?
Why don't we juste create a message createFile as there is createFolder ?
createFolder : create the folder
createFile : create the file

ensureCreateFolder : create the folder and its parents if necessary
ensureCreateFile : create the file and its parents if necessary
