Well, it sort of works -- sometimes. I remembered that when I tried it before, I was writing a test file to the desktop. That seems to work. A file with a type of kFirstMagicBusyFileType shows as a greyed out icon when the file is created on the desktop. However, if I create the file in any other Finder window it shows up as a regular file. Is this normal?
Nothing that I've tried so far seems to work for folder, even on the desktop.
