Dear List, my app should copy a few files to a remote (afp://) volume, hence it notifies the user if there is no connection, using NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath: method.
However, if the user connects to the Server using Finder's "Connect As...", NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath: @"/Volumes/Mailbackup" still returns NO. It only works, i.e. returns YES, if the user actually clicks on the "Mailbackup" folder in Finder. There is no entry in "/Volumes" either, until the user clicks. Instead of fileExistsAtPath: I have tried several other methods (like isReadableFileAtPath: or changeCurrentDirectoryPath:) as well as NSWorkspace's mountedLocalVolumePaths to no avail. It only works after actually opening the folder in Finder. Is there a way to update NSFileManager or NSWorkspace without opening the folder in question?
