Hi folks (especially Apple folks),
In my never-ending, mutually-recursive, infinite-descent quest to R
all the FMs, I've been rereading Tech Note 2029 (Mac OS X 10.1), and
chanced upon the following item:
Launch Services
...
A new finder flag, LSInfo, has been defined in Finder.h that can be
used to determine if an item has a hidden file name extension (r.
2575312).
The routine LSGetApplications has been replaced by a new routine,
_LSCopyAllApplicationURLs, that
provides better error checking (r. 2499328).
A very thorough search of _all_ frameworks on my system, which is
completely updated AFAIK, failed to find LSInfo and
LSGetApplications, and _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs ditto.
A search of the ADC website for any of these words yields zilch...
but then other, documented, call names don't appear in a search, so
that may not be germane.
Both LSGetApplications and _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs sound like calls
I'd _very_ much like to use, so if anybody can tell give me a hint
about where they can be found and what they do, I'd be grateful.
Finally, I was unable to find any documentation about finding out
whether a volume has the Finder's "Ignore privileges on this volume"
flag set or not...
TIA,
