So here's the problem I'm having. In the app I'm doing, I use a call to cp to make the copy. But unlike when using cp in terminal, somehow the directory it's creating is a bit worse than normal. It has only System as owner, and no access for anyone else. drwx------ chmod 700. Of course, this changes when the copy is finished, but the user will be alerted as to the initial settings of the folder, as it appears with a great big "No Access" icon. Can you suggest what I might be doing to cause this? The initial mode for the folder will be modified by the process umask. It sounds like yours is 0700 or similar. The real question might be "how do you tell the Finder to resync its view of the folder that's been copied", and there I fear I can't help you. Other folks here surely can, though.
