Notification for if User changes Finder Label on File

2012-11-20 Thread Michael Starke
Sorry for asking this question again, but i did not find any more 
details about how to improve what I want to achive or if the way i do it 
is the only way to go.


Therfore I'm politly asking again.

Situation is, that I need to watch a file (Volume to be precise) for any 
changes the user makes to it's label. Currently I have a FSEventStream 
callback that watches the volume path and I react to 
kFSEventStreamEventFlagItemXattrMod since this gets modified on a Label 
change.


Is there a more elegant way to look for this speical change or am I on 
the right track?

You can use the libdispatch to monitor file changes (using 
DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_VNODE).

You can also use a kqueue to look for change on a specific file.  If you want a 
Cocoa wrapper, there is the well known UKKQueue class available on the net.

Both solutions are far more efficient if you have to monitor only a couple of 
files.
