Hi David,

Is there any way to copy a file (with Cocoa only) that preserves _all_ its attributes, including creation date, much as the Finder does? I realize it's doable through the Carbon API's but Cocoa is so much more straightforward.

Unfortunately there's no Cocoa-only way to do this yet. NSFileManager maintains some metadata, but not all of it.

There's a bug on this particular item already I believe, but I don't have the number to hand at the moment.
