FolderItem.CurrentWorkingDirectory doesn't work correctly in 2019r2

Targets macOS
1

Since when FolderItem.AbsolutePath has been deprecated (since version 2013r1but worked in 2019r1.1 as deprecated)
FolderItem.CurrentWorkingDirectory returns “/” instead of:
NativePath: /Users/roberto/Documents/XOJO/sampleApp001
ShellPath: /Users/roberto/Documents/XOJO/sampleApp001
Now from my App is not possible to create a folder in the same folder of the App and other stuff
So it’s impossible to get the FolderItem of the Current Working Directory

Could somebody help me to get the complete Path? (as old AbsolutePath)

FolderItem LR does not know anything about CurrentWorkingDirectory.

But you can read this ( here text):

The Folderitem.Constructor function can be used to get a FolderItem for an item in the current folder. Simply pass it the name of the item. For example, the following returns a FolderItem for the folder "MyTemplates" in the current folder: Var f As new FolderItem("MyTemplates")

It’s not actually wrong. When not specified, the working directory usually is / in modern OSs.

Try App.ExecutableFile.Parent.

Thank you for help!

Var sampleApptFolder As New Folderitem sampleApptFolder = App.ExecutableFile.Parent MessageBox("NativePath: " + sampleApptFolder.NativePath)
Returns me now:
NativePath: /Users/roberto/Documents/XOJO/sampleApp001

Works perfectly!

There are differences between Mac and Windows:

[code]Var AppPath As New Folderitem

#If TargetMacOS Then

AppPath = App.ExecutableFile.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

#Else

AppPath = App.ExecutableFile.Parent

#EndIf

MessageBox("NativePath: " + AppPath.NativePath)
[/code]

Returns me now (in both OS):
NativePath: /Users/roberto/Documents/XOJO/sampleApp001

current working dir for macOS mostly makes no sense in a GUI app
