Re: NSWorkspace NSWorkspaceDidPerformFileOperationNotification

I am trying out the DRFileNotificationSubscription class Lon suggested
below. The page it is on had some interesting info too, but there seems
to be no way to contact the author about an error I'm getting:

#import "NSURL+NDCarbonUtilities.h" no such file or directory

apparently is is a category of NSURL, (and nothing on the page mentions
it or where to get it)
because I also get the error:
DRFileNotificationSubscription.m:38: `NSURL' may not respond to
`-getFSRef:'
getFSRef is not in NSURL.h

- (id)initForDirectoryURL:(NSURL*)url target:(id)newTarget
action:(SEL)newAction
FSRef dirRef;
BOOL ok = [url getFSRef:&dirRef];

looks like it is trying converting a NSURL into a FSRef .

I don't not sure who to ask about this. Maybe someone on the list knows
where to get NSURL+NDCarbonUtilities.h
I don't know this Carbon API well enough to write a category to do this
either.

Thanks Lon
