Cocoa doesn’t claim to do everything. There are a lot of tasks that should be done using lower level APIs. > *1) I can't hide a file, or test if a file is hidden* > I had to resort to FSGetCatalogInfo I’m pretty sure FSGetCatalogInfo is available in 64-bit.

Eeek! OS X hasn’t ever had a UI to change the caret blink time, so I think you can safely hardcode it. (Although I can’t think of why you’d need this unless you’re implementing your own text editing system from scratch, which is a pretty scary thought. If you’re doing that, there are a zillion other expected text behaviors you’ll need to get right, that are a lot more important than the blink rate.) —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
