Directories in the file system can either be 'folders' or 'bundles'. For example, a .rtfd file looks like a document in the Finder, but is actually a directory - and NSFileManager treats it as such, but I want to treat it as a 'file'.

We usually say "package" to refer to something that is a directory, but is treated by the Finder as a single document; this covers things like .rtfd and .nib that aren't really in one of the bundle formats, as well as things like .app that are.

There is an NSWorkspace method, isFilePackageAtPath:, to let you figure out whether a particular directory is a package or not.
