Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late – and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.

(1) Put Util_FileDirectoryII.h and Util_FileDirectoryII.c in:   FutureBasic 5.app/Contents/Resources/FBtoC/build_goodies/
(2) Put SystemDirectoryCopyURL.h and SystemDirectoryCopyURL.m in:   FutureBasic 5.app/Contents/Resources/FBtoC/build_goodies/

(3) Put Util_FileDirectoryII.incl in:   FutureBasic 5.app/Contents/Resources/FBtoC/Headers/

(4) Put FileDirectory-SpecDirsUpdated.bas in:  FB_5_7_4_Examples/Files/File_Directory examples/

Please note:
(a) All files are new and do not replace any existing files, so you able to use(include) the old Util_FileDirectory.incl.
(b) Files for #1,2 and 3 are going in the FB5 bundle
(c) Example ( #4 ) is a rework of one of the existing File Directory (FD) examples. 
(d) Updates special directory calls only. All other FD calls are as before.
(e) To get the new special directory calls make sure to include Util_FileDirectoryII.incl ( note the roman numeral II ) as shown in the example.
(f) Retrieving a CFURLRef requires a CFRelease by the caller ( release not required for retrieving an FSRef or FSSpec ).
Here is the link to download the files as a zipped archive:  http://www.4toc.com/fb/fdupdates.zip
This will be in FB 5.7.5 when I find time to build and release it.
Cheers,
Brian

Hi Brian,

I am trying to adopt new APIs for any new code I implement and this part of the code is in a .m file and not within FB BeginC EndC.   
However I could use updated FD code, as I use them for all my file handling now.
So send those pieces.
thanks
Steve

So how do I get the path to Application Support replacing this @"/Users/steve/Desktop/sigImage.tif" 

Are you wanting to avoid FB’s FileDirectory(FD) code? ( FB_5_7_4_Examples/Files/File_Directory examples/ ).  FD does what you need but does use FSFIndFolder() which was deprecated in OS X 10.8. I’ve created a new version of the special directories code ( a subset of all the FD code ) that uses more modern code. I could ship you the pieces.
