Trash the old file then save the new.
That was one of my suggestions. Sometimes, when I trash something when a long trash-emptying is already happening, a warning alert appears that says the newly trashed file will be directly deleted instead. I wonder if that alert still gets displayed when the trashing is programmatically instigated. That would be a surprise to the user since my program is a command-line tool (which may be called from a script someday). — Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
