Fritz,

Maybe I didn't post my question at the right time. The latest question that 
went under the pile of messages about lockless thread-safe accessor from blocks 
and other UI stuff was this one:

Is it normal that NSFileManager's isDeletableFileAtPath: returns YES for a 
locked file? Based on the result it returns, when I try to send it a 
removeItemAtPath:error:, it fails and the error localized description is '“This 
is a test.docx” couldn’t be removed because you don’t have permission to access 
it.'. That seems wrong to me. First, isDeletableFileAtPath: shouldn't return 
YES for a locked file.

Not a big problem. I can check if it's writable at path and if it's not, then I 
know the delete won't work but I was wondering if this was the expected 
behavior for NSFileManager isDeletableFileAtPath: ...

-Laurent.
