Nothing comes to mind from the top of my head.

A little digging through Carbon documentation suggested you could use FSCatalogInfo() function to determine the parent directory ID of the file you are testing. With the result of that function, you can use the IdentifyFolder() function to see if the parent directory's folder type == kSystemTrashFolderType.

Hope this helps,

Kiel

How can I determine if a given file path, or a file alias (I have both), refers to an item which is in the Trash?

The obvious answer, using -[NSString hasPrefix:] on the path with NSHomeDirectory()/.Trash, doesn't look very pretty.

Thanks,

Jerry
