As the knowledge base article states, Mac OS X switched to base-10 file sizes in Mac OS X 10.6 to reduce confusion and inconsistency with manufacturers’ stated capacities. If your application runs on both 10.5 and 10.6/10.7, you should probably query the OS version and choose the appropriate conversion factor. --Kyle Sluder_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
