I can set creation date from Cocoa using -[NSURL setResourceValue:forKey:error:], where key=NSURLCreationDateKey, but I’m interested if there’s a way to do it without jumping into Cocoa and staying on the POSIX level. st_birthtime doesn’t seem settable, at least not with the utimes()/futimes() call.

I don’t know about POSIX, but you can at least do it in C by calling the CoreServices function FSSetCatalogInfo.

No, I don’t want to use deprecated APIs. The whole point of rewriting an application and going for copyfile() was to get rid of the deprecated File Manager API. I know I can also use Core Foundation CFURL’s CFURLSetResourcePropertyForKey(), but that’s essentially the same using its Cocoa companion. I’m interested in staying at POSIX level. -- Dragan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
