At that point, we should be able to choose whether to prefer the item found by its ID or by its path. And if I understand Jim right, then this isn't possible any more - the OS makes a choice for us, and we don't know which (well, we can find out empirically). At least, for now, bookmark files still use the old Alias record format, and I've specifically written my own code to decypher them in order to be able to extract both the path and the ID so that I can find the file myself using the way of my choice. In fact, it allows me to detect if there's a file at both places, and I can alert the user to give him the choice. But once Apple changes the format as well, I'm screwed, I guess. -- Thomas Tempelmann, http://www.tempel.org/ Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tempelorg Read my programming blog: http://blog.tempel.org/
