Hi all, Of late, I've been working to remove NSString-based paths, FSRefs, and Alias Manager usage in my code, in favour of NSURL.
But I'm having trouble with alias files. NSOpenPanel helpfully, by default, resolves aliases before it returns the URL to you. But NSPathControl does not and file drops that you get off NSPasteboard also do not. So in many cases I need to manually check if a URL points to an alias file, and find the file it points to. Am I missing an easy/modern way to do this? There's URLByResolvingSymlinksInPath and URLByStandardizingPath, but neither resolve alias files (not that their docs say they should, but I'm experimenting). The only choice I see is using getResourceValue:forKey:error: and NSURLIsAliasFileKey then using all the bookmark APIs. Blah. Am I missing something?
