They don't, at least not in my test. For all six loops of a given file this code gives the same output: #include <sys/stat.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> int main( int argc, char **argv ) { struct stat st; int i; for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) { if (stat( argv[1], &st ) != 0) return 1; printf( "%s #%d atime = %d\n", argv[1], i, st.st_atimespec.tv_sec ); sleep( 10 ); } NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; NSString *file = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:argv[1]]; for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) { if (stat( [file fileSystemRepresentation], &st ) != 0) return 1; printf( "%s #%d atime = %d\n", argv[1], i, st.st_atimespec.tv_sec ); sleep( 10 ); } [pool drain]; return 0; } I was testing the Obj-C version just in case fileSystemRepresentation was in some odd way changing the atime. I think something else in your code is going wrong. Are you asking Launch Services for an icon or anything like that? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
