This is a nice trick, I wasn't aware of that function, thanks.
Perhaps a minor improvement (one call instead of two):

- (BOOL) isTrashedFileAtPath:(NSString*)path
{
        Boolean inTrash = false;
        const UInt8* utfPath = (UInt8*)[path UTF8String];
        OSStatus err = DetermineIfPathIsEnclosedByFolder(kOnAppropriateDisk,
kTrashFolderType, utfPath, false, &inTrash);
        return (noErr == err) ? (true == inTrash) : NO;
}

Probably it does the same thing behind the scenes, but why not.
For the archives: 2 more problems:

a) use fileSystemRepresentation not UTF8String.

b) with GC, 'path' may be collected before
DetermineIfPathIsEnclosedByFolder() is finished with utfPath.  So best
to add a [path self] just before the 'return'.


This is a perfect example of why I would never use GC: That is the most nonintuitive confusing behavior I have ever heard of. If I crashed in the middle of DetermineIfPathIsEnclosedByFolder() for that reason I would never guess that GC was responsible!
