Google finds everything you need with the terms you provided (when
including the word "Cocoa" to narrow the scope), if you take the time
to look through the results. That's how I found them.
Thanks for pointing out the example on Cocoa dev. However, it does not
show what I need.
Yes it does. You just have to take the time to research thoroughly
so that you understand it. You can't just give up when the first
results you find aren't a complete, drop-in solution. Don't understand
a method? Then search for it. It's probably documented somewhere.
You see, in the code that gets the file attributes
to set on the folder, it uses this call ..
NSDictionary *attributes=[self fileAttributesToWriteToFile:newPath
ofType:docType
saveOperation:saveType];
However, these is no code listing for fileAttributesToWriteToFile on
the page, and therefore I cannot see which attributes are getting set
?
Like this right here.
The method you asked about is EASILY found by searching the
documentation. You'll learn that it's an NSDocument method which was
deprecated in 10.4, and that -
fileAttributesToWriteToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:originalContentsURL:error
: is its replacement.
Following the handy link takes you straight to a nice method
definition, complete with "Discussion" section that directly answers
your question in the first several paragraphs, with references to more
options.
Another term you should search for is "cross-referencing". Applying
it will help you immensely in software development.

How would one go about creating a folder that would appear to the

Have you searched the archives? The documentation? Google,
perhaps? While
no longer a *frequently* asked question, it's been asked countless
times and
there're even some examples on cocoadev.com and other places.
Please search
before posting.
Getting the appearance is as easy as flipping a switch when you
declare
your document types. Managing reading/writing the package is a bit
more
involved, but cocoadev's example works well. The format has to be
just so in
order for Finder to realize it's a package.
