Hi,
I've written some code to handle relocating of user home folders, in
particular, the rewriting of full paths in preference files. For the
majority of applications, this all works sweetly with Foundation.pm
and the usual NSDictionary calls.
However I am running into issues with the Finder sidebar. The
"useritems" in the sidebar plist are based on "aliases" - with no
POSIX file paths at all (like Dock has).
I gather this is all Carbon magic, and I have been wandering round
the Macperl docs without much success. I'm guessing that Mac::Files
might be the right area.
Does anyone know what calls I could use to parse and edit the alias
data (which I currently have extracted into temp files)?
Regards,
Gavin
