It’s also worth noting that if you want to display path components in a UI, you shouldn’t be working with filesystem-level methods like -pathComponents, because the user view of the file system isn’t identical to what’s ‘really’ there. The user sees mounted volumes at the top level not in /Volumes; many system directories have localized names; etc. There’s API elsewhere (in NSWorkspace IIRC) to get the user-visible components of a path for that purpose. —Jens
