Using FSRefs is unacceptable for a lot of things. (Save and Revert is ok though) since on UFS volumes they are not valid between applications or application launches so they can't be communicated to eachother. However, if you convert the FSRef to a POSIX path or an Alias then pass it and convert it back to FSRef, all is well. So ignore everything I just said in this email since it's completely moot but I am too lazy to delete this message.

Ack, at 10/2/02, email@hidden said:

This could be fixed if methods using file paths as arguments
were deprecated like they were long ago with respect to the
Toolbox in Mac OS (circa System 7 IIRC). If one uses FSRefs
(for runtime) and Aliases (for non-volatile storage) instead this
problem would be fixed. Since 10.1 NSDocument behaves like
it uses an FSRef internally. FSRefs are available in
CoreFoundation, but curiously not in Foundation proper.
