Fritz,

Maybe I didn't post my question at the right time. The latest question that went under the pile of messages about lockless thread-safe accessor from blocks and other UI stuff was this one:

Is it normal that NSFileManager's isDeletableFileAtPath: returns YES for a locked file? Based on the result it returns, when I try to send it a removeItemAtPath:error:, it fails and the error localized description is '“This is a test.docx” couldn’t be removed because you don’t have permission to access it.'. That seems wrong to me. First, isDeletableFileAtPath: shouldn't return YES for a locked file.

Not a big problem. I can check if it's writable at path and if it's not, then I know the delete won't work but I was wondering if this was the expected behavior for NSFileManager isDeletableFileAtPath: ...

-Laurent.
