I want a way to know a file what a file's new name is.
Having event ID X (old name) & X+1 (new name) for file rename (& move)
would be really useful.
Is there another way to find out what a file's new name is? I am
currently iterating through the parent directory comparing file sys
IDs to get the new name.
A file's file ID will never changed under rename (or move*)?
A simpler approach would probably be to create a bookmark of the
original file and make sure the bookmark data prefers the file ID
(kCFURLBookmarkCreationPreferFileIDResolutionMask). Then, all you have
to do is resolve the bookmark and get the file's new name and location
(from the returned file URL). Very fast, very neat.
Optionally, if you use NSURL to create the bookmark, you can include the
URL's original filename (as an URL resource) in the bookmark data.
Later, the bookmark will provide both the original name (saved during
creation) and its new name (obtained after resolution).
