I thought about that, the docs say: /* Given the url of a file which is a Finder "alias" file, return a NSData with the bookmark data from the file. If bookmarkFileURL points to an alias file created before SnowLeopard which contains Alias Manager information and no bookmark data, then a NSData will be synthesized which contains a approximation of the alias information in a format which can be used to resolve the bookmark. If an error prevents reading the data or if it is corrupt, NULL will be returned and error will be filled in if errorRef is non-NULL. */ The first few words suggest I have to check myself, but the "If an error prevents reading the data" part suggests your suggestion may be safe. Not sure. Thanks for the suggestion though! -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
