Yes, I have been looking at this, but I don't see a way to check if I can simply create a file at a path without actually creating it. Creating a file to check if it's doable seems like a bit too much overhead and a bit messy. I don't see a way to use isWritableFileAtPath: and the others without the file already existing.
