I'm wondering if this is the right behaviour or if it should be considered a bug. It seems to me a bit restrictive; if I'm a user and I want to make a copy in my home directory of an external directory for which I've read access, this should be allowed; in this case NSFileManager should try to change only the permissions but not owner and group. Agreed ... when copying a directory we should not be trying to preserve the original ownership ... should be fixed in svn. 2) I can't find a way to remove broken symlinks; - removeFileAtPath:: doesn't work in this case.

I was assuming that -fileExistsAtPath: doesn't traverse the link but refers to the symbolic link itself. Enrico, First of all, I'd like to thank you for being so responsive in fixing GWorkspace bugs. Secondly, I'd just like to request that your replies to bugreports be a little bit more explicit in whether or not the bugreport is what caused you to find the issue, or whether it had *previously* been fixed in SVN. Thanking people for reports makes it clear their report was useful once a bug has been fixed, and that they are not duplicating efforts. Once again, thanks for all your hard work.
