Yes. Most of the time it seems to work better to keep a trailing slash on a path:
path = "$temp/mywork/";
Most (all?) functions that need just a path, without a file, are happy with it:
path = "$temp/mywork/";
show(convertFilePath(path,"windows"));
Convert File Path(path, "windows") = "C:\Users\v1\AppData\Local\Temp\mywork\";
and it is clearly not a full filename to anyone looking at the code later.
