Re: Finder Refresh

Generally the way to inform the Finder from Cocoa that something has changed is

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] noteFileSystemChanged:path];

The Finder should then be able to do the right thing, although I can't guarantee that it will in all cases.

Just to follow up on this:

The Finder does indeed seem to do great in all cases that I tested for when you use this call. (OmniWeb downloads were incredibly annoying to deal with until I discovered this call in the documentation.)

Also note that if you are writing a document-based application with NSDocument, et cetera, then those AppKit classes look like they call -noteFileSystemChanged: for you when they save files so you don't need to do anything manually.
