Preserving knowledge of renamed/moved directory?


  • Subject: Preserving knowledge of renamed/moved directory?
  • From: Rick Mann <email@hidden>

Back in the days before URLs, I could have an FSRef to a directory, and no matter where I moved that directory what I named it, the FSRef was still valid, and I could still read/write to it.

Now that everything is URL based, if a thread changes the name of a directory, or moves it, another thread's URL pointing to that directory (or inside it) becomes invalid, right?

Is there any way for this to not be the case? That is, for a URL to a directory or subdirectory or item within to stay valid even if the path to it changes?
