Hello,

How do I detect a defective alias programatically?

Mac OS gives this message:
The alias „myApp‰ alias could not be opened, because the original cannot be
found

I would like my app to be able to do that when I have a defective alias.

Kindly advise.

Thanks.

Lennox

If folderItem.TrueChild for an existing alias returns nil you've, likely got a defective alias (depends a bit on your definition of defective alias).

Almost -- TrueChild returns the file, unresolved. So I think he would want to check to see whether Child is nil.
