It seems very un-Cocoa-like for us to have to replicate the ugly
complicated redundant code in many places within our applications. Is
the link above obsolete ? Was it a temporary work around ? Do
NSString's path handling methods now take care of this nonsense
(perhaps within -fileSystemRepresentation) ?
Not in Jaguar. I haven't had any luck getting Panther to run for more
than 10 minutes at a time, so that's not an option for me anyway, if it
is fixed there.
I think failure to handle valid file system paths within Cocoa's path
handling and returning methods is a serious bug, and I will submit it
unless this is no longer an issue. This could become the world's
first ten minute bug report ;)
I strongly concur with this. Quite clearly it's not just me, in which
case this should be fixed ASAP - i.e. in 10.2.7. Developers should not
have to implement crude hacks in order to work with an OS feature which
has been around for longer than I can remember (literally!).
