What are you actually trying to do?

I was trying to send the path of a symbolic link (not the content of this link, which anyway might not exist) to another app.

This other app displays all sort of information or metadata about this path.

The sending app has an NSBrowser, which shows things which have been changed between TimeMachine updates. Among these are also symlinks.

I have given up on NSWorkspace, LaunchServices and now send the path via Distributed Objects.
Works perfectly.

But I had some problems of enabling the other app to load to documents (it is Cocoa Document based) representing two symbolic links with the same content.
And I still cannot drag a symlink to its dock icon.
File -> Open or the Services Menu work though.

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
