Ultimately what I need to able to do is compare a bookmark to a path. I would like to do this using NSArray's indexOfObject with a path derived from the bookmark, but because the bookmark's path is not updated when only the case changes, this sort of comparison will not work. Basically I would like a method like: [bookmarkData isEqualToPath:path] _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
