Problems with file upload in Catalina

[Stephan]

Hello,

with the latest web2py version and Catalina, I found that the file upload does not behave like before. When doing a file upload with sqlform grid, with the uploadfolder set to static "uploadfolder=request.folder+'static'" in the models, the files are stored outside the app, in a newly created folder 'staticapplicationname' in under the 'applications' folder instead of being stored in 'app/static'.

Thanks for your help.

I found out that setting adding a slash in the path fixes the behaviour:

  Field('logo', 'upload',  uploadfolder=request.folder+'/static/images'),

instead of

    Field('footer', 'upload',  uploadfolder=request.folder+'static/images'),

Does anyone know why all this is?
