Which "options" argument are you talking about? I just do the following and it works as advertised.

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] performFileOperation:NSWorkspaceRecycleOperation source:parentDirOfFile destination:@"" files:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"fileName"] tag:nil]

The only slightly irritating bit is that you have to supply the file name and the parent directory. You can't just pass it a path for some reason.

Keep destination as the empty string (not nil) and your file will be renamed as required when it hits the trash.

I'd say just try the default options and see what happens. You might also look at -[NSWorkspace performFileOperation:source:destination:files:tag:] with NSWorkspaceRecycleOperation as the first argument.

The description for FSMoveObjectToTrashSync says: "This function moves a file or directory to the Trash, adjusting the object's name if necessary." (Meaning, I suppose, it appends a number to the filename to make it unique in the Trash directory.)

Lovely, *exactly* what I need to do.  Happy happy, joy joy!

However, when I get into actually writing the code, I get to the "options" argument, which are described as:

"kFSFileOperationDefaultOptions
Use the following default options:

*If the destination directory contains an object with the same name as a source object, abort the operation.

kFSFileOperationOverwrite
If the destination directory contains an object with the same name as a source object, overwrite the destination object."



Um, what happened to that part about "adjusting the object's name if necessary"? According to the options flags, that is not possible; it's either abort the operation or overwrite.


Anyone know the skinny on this actually works? The way I want to use this function is to move a file that resides in a document bundle into the Trash directory that resides on the same volume as the document bundle (and yes, I understand that not all volumes support Trash folders, I can handle that).
