Can't save to drive other than C

[Dan Ebberts]

I'm trying to save a file to a folder on my F drive with this code (CS3):

docRef.saveAs(new File("/F/temp/TargaTest.tga",tgaSaveOptions,false));

and I get this error:

Error 8800: General Photoshop error occured. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. - Could not save as "C:\F\temp\TargaTest.tag" because the file could not be found.

Notice how it stuck the C: at the front? Why is that happening? The only way I can get it to save at all is to not specify a drive. With "/temp/TargaTest.tga", the file gets saved in C:/temp (but as a .psd instead of .tga - any thoughts on that?).

I get the same results if I set the script up to let me navigate to a folder and then try it this way:

docRef.saveAs(new File(outputFolder +"/" + "TargaTest.tga",tgaSaveOptions,false));

- it will still add the C: at the front. Grrr..

I think the problem is the way you are creating the file object. Try

docRef.saveAs(new File("/F/temp/TargaTest.tga"),tgaSaveOptions,false);

I can't believe I did that. Thanks - you saved the day!
