Is there any support within the cocoa frameworks for watching
folders for new files being added and so forth?
I've had a search around the list but there don't seem to be any
solutions to this and was wondering what methods people have taken
to get this kind of functionality?
For many purposes you can avoid needing this functionality completely
with a little thought. For instance, say you're displaying files to
the user (like Finder does). In that case, a good technique is to
refresh your view every time the user activates your window. That
way, if they switch to another app and save something, you're
guaranteed to notice it at just the right time.
The best solution, as is often the case, depends on what you are
actually trying to do.
