Mac OS 10.7, Xcode 4.3.2
I have an application with which I would like to set Finder labels (colors) for directories. I use the URL resource API to read and write NSURLLabelNumberKey for the target directory. This works, up to a point.
If I set the label number to 0, it behaves as expected: Any label is removed.
If I set the label number to anything else (up to 7), the folder's label is set, but the label numbers don't seem to correspond to any order the Finder uses. Label 3 does not correspond to the third color in the Finder Preferences list, nor does it correspond (as one source suggests) to the third label in alphabetical order by name.
+[NSWorkspace fileLabelColors] returns the available label colors in the same order as the index.
What I'd really like is to use the same order as appears in the preferences, and in the File/contextual menu. That is, I'd like to conform to Apple's interface. Is this possible?
