Hello All, I'm a little unclear about this... maybe one of you has some ideas?
Currently, the call toNSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomain(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, NO);
returns the path ~/Library/Caches. The FSFindFolder(...) call also returns the same thing. I noticed, however, that a number of other applications (including XCode itself) are using the cache directory
returned by confstr(_CS_DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR, path, len);instead of the old directory in ~/Library. In the XCode 3.1 release notes it even mentions that it now uses this cache directory for "added security"... is there a recommended move to this directory structure under /var/folders? Or do we listen to the return value of NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomain(...)?
I also noticed that NSTemporaryDirectory(...) returns the temp directory in /var/folders so I'm wondering if there is a move to put all discardable files back into /var (where, IMO, they belong anyway... but hey). So... do I use the result of the POSIX call or the Cocoa call? If Apple weren't starting to use the result of the POSIX call themselves, I wouldn't care, but I'm curious now... any thoughts?
