Hi list

I'm trying to move some files to the trash with my app, but I need OS X to 
throw an authentication dialog when the requested file needs permission to be 
moved. 

I need a solution that will work from 10.6 onwards, so I've been looking at 
NSWorkspace's recycleURLs rather than NSFileManager's trashItemAtURL (not 
available pre 10.8).

My problem is that recycleURLs doesn't appear to offer an option to ask the 
user for a password if it's needed. Is there another method I can use that 
will, or a way to make recycleURLs throw the dialog? I know I could probably 
run an NSTask and call "rm" but that's a bit more brutal than what I'm looking 
for. I'd like the user to actually see the file in the Trash and to know that 
they've authorised its removal.


TIA


Phil
