I can get an array of files/folders from any path.
If I do this with "/", I get lots of files & folders that I perhaps "shouldn't" see - i.e. terminal would list them, but Finder doesn't (folders like "automount" and "cores" and files like "mach.sym" and "mach_kernel" ).
Is there a way for me to filter out these folders to replicate the list that Finder gives me?
Cheers for any help. Nothing's built in directly to NSFileManager - I have an enhancement request for this kind of thing. You could iterate over the directory and check to see if the item is hidden - LaunchServices has direct API for that.
LSCopyItemInfoForURL and the kLSItemInfoIsInvisible bit are the interesting ones.
