OK, that rather surprises me - why haven't Apple done a decent file copying system in Cocoa yet! Maybe I should file a request.

So, I downloaded MoreFilesX. It's readme says quite a bit about the HFD+ APIs. Am I right in thinking that the code will use the HFS+ if suitable, but that it will still work for non-HFS+ operations?

You might want to look at FSCopyObject; I think it's more modern (and easier to use) than MoreFilesX <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ FSCopyObject/index.html>. It loses xattrs on 10.4, though, unfortunately.


If you can require 10.4, take a look at FSCopyObjectAsync, which has a callback for periodic updates. These functions are only documented in the Files.h header, though.
