Hi all,
I have recently been replacing all my Alias Manager use with NSURL
bookmarks.
One thing that has surprised and confused me is the 'keys' parameter to
bookmarkDataWithOptions:includingResourceValuesForKeys:relativeToURL:error:.
The docs say only An array of names of URL resource properties.
It seems that if you provide nil and are later unable to resolve the
bookmark, you can't find out *anything* about it, not even its original name
or path. With an AliasRecord, you are always able to get basic info like
that back. I found one related item in the archives:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2012/Feb/msg00165.html
Is it others' experience as well that it is vital to always at least provide
a few basic keys like NSURLNameKey and NSURLParentDirectoryURLKey?
I've seen another thread somewhere where an Apple engineer said there was no
API at present, and that a workaround was to store the path yourself under a
custom key.
It seems to me that storing the name + parent directory would do the trick just
as well. Or on 10.8+, there's NSURLPathKey too.
