I don’t think there’s any such notification. File handles are private to a process. > Any help is appreciated.

You’ll probably want to wait a few seconds after the last such event, because you may get several in a row if the changes take a while (for example if a file is being downloaded.) If you want to do something when a _document_ is closed in an app like Preview or Word, that’s entirely different. Closing a document has nothing to do with closing a file. When most apps open a document they open the file, read its contents, and then close the file. They don’t leave it open while the document is open. As far as I know there is no reliable way to detect when some other app closes a document. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
