I don't think the accepted convention was to store FSRefs--if you're going
to store references, you should be storing aliases, NOT FSRefs. Depending
on OS version (10.2+?), I believe that aliases now resolve path name first
(so your example would be covered).

Cool. Thanks for the info--I guess the last I heard about this was somewhat before Jaguar.


So, for the example I gave, you should be using aliases (not FSRefs) regardless of if the app was quit and reopened, because the behavior should be the same whether it's done while the app is running or not, no?
