Technical Note TN2078 says: Like FSSpecs, FSRefs are not guaranteed to be valid across boots in Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X, across processes in Mac OS X, or even across separate launches of the same application in Mac OS X, so don't use them when you need persistent storage. For persistent storage, aliases are still the recommended approach.

Yes. You can see the value that the variable `alias' is bound to tracks the renamed file in the following code: (let* ((file1 (make-temp-file "foo")) (file2 (concat file1 "-renamed")) (alias (mac-coerce-ae-data 'undecoded-file-name (encode-coding-string file1 'utf-8) "alis"))) (rename-file file1 file2) (prog1 (decode-coding-string (mac-coerce-ae-data "alis" alias 'undecoded-file-name) 'utf-8) (delete-file file2))) >> Could you try the following patch?

I've installed the change.
