The replies to my original question are appreciated, but they do not answer the question. Once my NSFileManager object has found a file of interest, why can I get the modification date with the key NSFileModificationDate (using objectForKey or valueForKey doesn't matter) but I can't get the OSType code with the key NSFileHFSTypeCode. Each time I try to access this data I get a different result. I know that the file has a type code because I can access it with another program.
>From what I have read quickly since Sean McBride sent his comment, UTIs are not yet implemented to the point where I could get the UTI of every file on my computer. File attribute keys are found on page 48 of the pdf version of the document "NSFileManager Class Reference".
