Yes. Older APIs were for supported applications to notify others. But this was optional, so only a few do. Newer APIs are on lower level so they notice all changes. > So there is no system-level folder notification in MBS for 10.4? Sorry, no. > On a related but different topic, have you ever consider making a set > of classes run "on top" of your other classes to wrap them into being > cross-platform? Well, I thought about that. But those classes are often very different. For example with notifications on Mac we can include a dictionary with a lot of data. On Windows we only include two integers. That's difficult to mix without reducing Mac's functionality. If someone has time to write a wrapper, I'm happy to include it as an example project.
