Hi list,
I am trying to store a reference to a file in a database, such that if
the file moves, I can still search for it in my database.
I have read up on the Carbon Alias Manager and the third party BSAlias/
NDAlias classes but none of these quite seem to fit the bill as it
looks like I am working backwards from their designed use. ie, rather
than finding the file from a database record, I want to lookup the
database record from a known file.
In this situation, would it be best to use -[NSFileManager
attributesOfItemAtPath:error:] and store the NSFileSystemFileNumber?
I'm not sure how resilient this approach is. Or is there something
that I have missed completely?
Regards,
Ben
