I wanted to simulate the simultaneous read access ability to a file for an app to see how the app behaves. So, I decided to build an app which would attempt to access the file while another instance of the app had control of it. The first access of the file is in the RB debugger itself after I test a folderitem is non-nil, exists, IsReadable before opening the folderitem as a textinputstream. I put a break point shortly after the textinputstream is created to see if the app locks other instances of it to that file. I then opened the built app and accessed the same file with no problems.
Is this a reasonable approach?
