applications could write and read from the harddisk, the user can browse fromwithin the finder and copy, move and delete. my application would provide listings when the user opens a folder and deal with files dropped to a folder. i know i could get far with folder actions concerning dropping a file. but i would also act when an application tries to open a file in that folder or a user wants to copy it by dragging it out. i could also make an application that ressembles a window where you can drag from and to like many ftp applications, but this still excludes the access from other applications. to give an example, i have seen once a media server that had images on a raw partition, but provided them at the same time as jpeg, tiff and bmp files on a virtual harddisk. the files however existed only virtually and were created on the fly from the raw partition as they were opened.

is it possible that an application emulates a mounted harddisk that
acts towards the finder and the other application like a volume?

Perhaps writing out a .dmg and mounting it? What exactly are you trying to
achieve?

Yet another shot in the dark:
