Re: Folder Action the Cocoa Way

I don't think you can do this with Cocoa. What you are asking is to do
something that pertains only to the Finder. Since that is the case
there is very little chance that it exists in the AppKit or elsewhere.

I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear but as far as I can see
this is how it is.

Enjoy you're experiences with the Cocoa framework.
Peace, Alan
