We have an open bugtracker issue about this. There is no conclusion right now how to handle this. I understand that this path interpretation is a step too far , on the other hand we already do this in #resolveString: see output of (on a windows platform(!)) (FileSystem root / 'aPath/file.txt') basename. (FileSystem root / 'aPath\file.txt') basename. vs. (FileSystem root resolveString:'aPath/file.txt') basename. (FileSystem root resolveString:'aPath\file.txt') basename. #/ could behave like #resolveString And for example: (FileLocator vmDirectory / 'testdir/file.txt') writeStream << 'Test' will succeed, if the directory <vmdirectory>/testdir/ exists (it does not try to create a file called "testdir/file.txt", but really just "file.txt").
