Re: Async File Copying?

try to spawn a thread that makes the copy:
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(doTheCopy:)
toTarget:myCopyObject
withObject:myObjectWithInputParams];

then in the method
- (void)doTheCopy:(NSDictionary *)params;
you would call
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] performFileOperation:NSWorkspaceCopyOperation ....]

I forgot to say that you should set up an autorelease pool in it to avoid leaks:

- (void)doTheCopy:(NSDictionary *)params
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool=[[NSAutoreleasePool alloc]init];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] performFileOperation:NSWorkspaceCopyOperation ....];
[pool release];
}

I've tried both:

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] performFileOperation:NSWorkspaceCopyOperation ....]

and

[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyPath ... ]

and both of them copy files synchronously (spinning rainbow until copy is done). Is there any easy way to do a asynchronous file copy besides writing it all from scratch?
