Run Loop in Tool Idles for 60.0 seconds before exitting

My app package includes a tool which can be invoked to do some of the work that the main app normally does, kind of like xcodebuild. In the tool, I create and run a run loop with this code: while ( ![[AgentPerformer sharedPerformer] isDone] && [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]

You're saying that if I have a FSRef to a file, then the file is moved, the FSRef will still reference the moved file and not the location where it used to be? That's surprising to me, because FSRefs were created as a replacement for FSSpecs, which do not have that property (they were a struct
