Hi,
I think the problem is using 'aPath/cat.jpg' as a single string (= as a
single component of the path).
This:
path1 := FileSystem root / 'a/b/c.txt'.
is different to:
path2 := FileSystem root / 'a' / 'b' / 'c.txt'.
Compare the results when I ask for the parent directory:
path1 parent "-> File @ /"
path2 parent "-> File @ /a/b"
When renaming, the #renameTo: method takes the #parent directory as the
base for the target filename.
Therefore:
(FileSystem root / 'a/b/c.txt')
renameTo: 'my.txt'.
will try to create file:
FileSystem root / 'my.txt'
Whereas:
(FileSystem root / 'a' / 'b' / 'c.txt')
renameTo: 'my.txt'.
will try to create file:
FileSystem root / 'a' / 'b' / 'my.txt'
And in your case, FileSystem root is probably not writable.
