Users cannot change the Finder label colors, only the label names. Though, I was wrong; My code actually is relying on pre-10.6 path FSSetCatalogInfo to set the file label. Oops. :) But as you say, in practice it'll work. The order doesn't make any sense to me either, but the label names and colors don't change their index in 10.7 or 10.6 so you can rely on it. I doubt they've changed for 10.8 either. -- Seth Willits _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
