primUntrustedUserDirectory trouble of new mac carbon VM

Hi, all,

About mac vm 3.8.14beta6U and 3.8.14beta7U, I have trouble.

SecurityManager default primUntrustedUserDirectory

returns a path name,

'/Users/tetha/Library/Preferences/Internet'

But, I believe it should have 'My Squeak' as the last path component.
When I setup the value of SqueakBrowserUnTrustedDirectory entry in Info.plist as

~/Library/Preferences/Squeak/Internet/My Squeak/aaaaaaaa

(add a dummy component aaaaaaaa)
then returns

'/Users/tetha/Library/Preferences/Internet/My Squeak'

I use MacOSX 10.4.8 on PPC box.

Best regards,

Ah, mmm a bug, but if you try ~/Library/Preferences/Squeak/Internet/
My Squeak/aaaaaaaa/ what happens?
Perhaps the code (I've not looked yet) assumes the aaaaaaaa is a file
name and then resolves to the directory?

I'll note the default should be
<key>SqueakBrowserUnTrustedDirectory</key>
<string>~/Library/Preferences/Squeak/Internet/My Squeak/</string>

I invoke
(NSString*) stringByExpandingTildeInPath

on the string, but the apple documentation is not clear, it only says:

A new string made by expanding the initial component of the receiver,
if it begins with “~” or “~user”, to its full path value.
Returns a new string matching the receiver if the receiver’s initial
component can’t be expanded.

the right module name is sqMacSecurity.c, sorry.

fixPath() is necessary in this case ?
it is already fixed by stringByExpandingTildeInPath.

As you noticed the fix is to remove the fixPath() for
untrustedUserDirectory, I"ll make a new VM later on the weekend.
