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.)
And here's a decidedly non-technical temporary workaround for
those annoying times when a file which you *know* is there just
won't show up.
In the Finder, invoke the "Go To Folder..." dialog/sheet (you
can bring it up by pressing command-tilde, or choosing "Go To
Folder..." from the Go menu), then type the full path to the
file (including the filename). Press return, and the dialog will
beep and tell you that the "folder" cannot be found, but it will
indeed update the Finder to show the file in question. This
works even if you have the appropriate folder open at the time;
it updates instantly, the moment after you press return.
It shouldn't be necessary at all, but it does work every time in
my experience.
HTH,
