The FSpDTSetComment function of Mac::MoreFiles sets the comment of the original file instead of the alias file: use Mac::StandardFile; use Mac::MoreFiles; my $file = StandardGetFile(0, 0)->sfFile; my $aliasfile = "$file alias"; symlink($file, $aliasfile); FSpDTSetComment($aliasfile, "test"); Is this the intended behavior? Any function that sets the comments of the alias file? Gaji
