No, aliases are files, not symbolic links. Symbolic links are a special category of file system objects in a Unix-compatible file system. To tell the difference between an alias file and a non-alias file, use the NSURL “isAliasFile” resource key. (And you should be using URLs generally, instead of paths.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
