If I use:
put specialFolderPath("Temporary")
I get the following:
/Users/jimsims/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems
Maybe the file might be found in there? If you cannot actually see it
or access it PERHAPS you might be able to copy it or read/write the
file?
Also, if I request a Temp file name by using: put the tempName
I will get: /private/var/folders/-N/-NvTgUlu2RqtP++BYqw1d++++TI/
TemporaryItems/tmp3
Maybe I would be able to add the filename to that path and either copy
or read/write the file?
Clearly my suggestions are a shot in the dark - but that happens to be
where you unfortunately are ;-)
