When I do that, the conversion from NSString to const UInt8 * path mangles the special characters in the path.

If it does, CFURLGetFSRef returns nil. CFURLGetFSRef is great if what you have originally is a CF/NSURL. But if you just have an NSString, you might as well use FSPathMakeRef with [aString fileSystemRepresentation]. No reason to create an intermediary NSURL. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
