BTW -- just because nobody has mentioned it yet: You can also take the approach many other applications use: Create your own window, with your own list of files, and show whatever information you wanted to show in an overlay on Finder's icon. You can ask NSWorkspace for the icon you should show for a file, and then display that in one column of your NSTableView, for example. And NSWorkspace can also open a file just like Finder would do. And you can ask NSFileManager for the list of files in a particular folder. So essentially you'd be building a (very limited and much simpler) mini-Finder that only does what is needed for your application.
