If I change the contents of the file and save it (using NSTextView
writeRTFDToFile), but do not rename/move the file, then both the
creation date and the modification date are changed to reflect the
time
the file was saved. That is clearly wrong behavior - only the
modification date should be changed.

It is not a "save" action in the sense you are imagining: it is a
"create a file"
action (happily overwriting an existing file if so commanded).
You'll find
that -NSString writeToFile:..., for example, is just the same way. And
rightly so; this is a completely new file. The file that was there
before,
by the same name, could be anything; nothing guarantees that it is
the "same
document". That notion is just something you made up.
Then I suppose all file attributes are clered with this save
operation? The actuall process of saving (if an old file exists)
would then include getting old attributes with fileAttributesAtPath,
then writeRTFDToFile and lastly changeFileAttributes back to the
previous attributes (but with the new modification date). However, I
think this feels strange, but since you observed -[NSString
writeToFile] work similar, it is perhaps a normal behaviour.
