Just a quick one. I would expect renaming a file named HELLO.TXT
to hello.txt (or another variant where the case of a few letters
change) with -moveItemAtPath:toPath:error: to be allowed. As it is
not (it generates an NSFileWriteUnknownError) is this a bug or just
me?
That ought to work, even on HFS+. (It's not a no-op, because HFS+
preserves the case of filenames, so getting the directory contents
will return the name in its new case.)
If not, is there are more appropriate API for renaming files?
Try using the system call "rename". (Use "man 2 rename" to see the
documentation.)
Call -fileSystemRepresentation on your path strings to convert them
to appropriate C strings.

I'll have a look at that, would that break if my users have non-ascii
filenames? I've only worked with NString, which handles Unicode
transparently.
