I was thinking that these icon previews are stored in the resource fork.

you're right, in a icns resource.


it seems that it isn't possible to copy a file's resource fork from Cocoa.

No, only carbon API.

While not all metadata is preserved, the resource fork is copied correctly using NSFileManager's copyPath:toPath:handler: method.

This will handle the cases where you're copying to/from NFS correctly as well.
