Hi,
I cannot find a Cocoa API to set the "Attribute Modification Date" of a
file. If there is a way, may you please let me know?


In the meantime, on MacOS X 10.5.8, I have been trying to use setattrlist
with ATTR_CMN_CHGTIME, unsuccessfully. And setattrlist returns 0, as
everything went ok. While it is not ok. Even FSSetCatalogInfo with
kFSCatInfoAttrMod doesn't work. I get the current date/time I call the API,
not the date/time I have set.


So my question is:
Can I really set the ATTR_CMN_CHGTIME on MacOS X 10.5.8 or higher?

Also, the man says that getattrlist and setattrlist don't work on all the
volumes. So, how can I know whether I can call these APIs?



Thanks -- Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,

the Cocoa way, I suppose, is to use NSFileManager. Looks like you can use setAttributes:ofItemAtPath:error: with an NSDate value for NSFileModificationDate.
