Renaming a file repositions icon in Finder


  • Subject: Renaming a file repositions icon in Finder
  • From: Jim Turner <email@hidden>

It appears that renaming a file will cause the Finder to reposition
the icon for the file if it's currently displayed in a icon view
somewhere.  Is there any way to prevent that from happening?  It looks
very strange to have icons jump all over the place just because of a
rename.

Thinking that it might have been the method with which I was renaming
the file, I tried NSFileManager's moveItemAtPath:toPath:error:,
rename(), and FSRenameUnicode() and all three exhibit the same
problem.
