I think I just replied to Michael, but appologies if this is a double post..

I think it's more finder related to be honest.. I have seen it with or without XCode running, and it happens to me generally at the end of a long days work, so I am guessing some crud has built up that is unsettling Finder.

As Michael has observed it never happens after a restart, and my usual method of fixing it to simply kill and relaunch Finder.
After that the problem is always gone.

This is probably OT but I have seen it only wrt Xcode project folders.

Habitually, after finishing some Xcode development and just prior to going
home, I compress my project folder and bring it home with me.


About 5-6 times over the past few months, the compression
(Control-"Compress") failed with the message

"Error occurred while adding "" to the archive."

[i.e., trying to add a nameless file]

Does anyone know why this happens.

The workaround is trivial but annoying -- either

1. Copy the folder and compress that, or
2. Restart.

Is your project under source code control?

Is the project open in Xcode when you try to compress it?

Is the build folder inside the project folder?

If you do a full dump of the project folder's contents in Terminal ( ls -alR ) do you see this nameless file?

We don't know of cases of Xcode adding nameless files to the project folder, but I'm interested in finding out exactly what's going on here.
