Sounds like a good Radar to file. (My wild guess? They wrote NSRunningApplication as a wrapper around the Process Manager so they could deprecate the API without having to actually rewrite it. Process Manager calls Launch Services because it only really deals with processes launched "in the Mac way"—by double-clicking their icon and such. Launch Services is answering the questions in its own terms: it knows when processes it launched were launched, and doesn't care about processes it didn't launch.) --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
