Hi Dave,
glad to know someone else had the same question.
I use the routine Apple grants on its web site called
FSCopyObject. I have to say, it has *a lot of bugs*. Warning.
Anyway, it creates the file using
FSCreateFileUnicode
then it copys the forks, then it sets the CatalogInfo with
FSSetCatalogInfo
So, there are no hidden procedures.
I think it copys the user id to the destination file, so since that user id
doen't exist on the destination machine, the Finder Get Info panel reports a
blank Owner, and the file could not be opened anymore. It seems to be busy.
You have to change the owner by hand, in order to use it.
Anyway, I am totally disappointed about the assistance Apple is granting to
the developers. I can understand MacOS X is still young (I love Apple), and
thus it has some bug, but I would like anyway to find a workaround to, think
about, a simple copy file procedure... Amazing!
Please let me know.
