Tracking Workspace Changes

This task explains how to inform the file system of changes using NSWorkspace.

Tracking File System Changes

If you create a file directly, use the noteFileSystemChanged method to inform NSWorkspace that it needs to update itself. The noteFileSystemChanged: method informs NSWorkspace that the file system at a specific path has changed.

NSDocument and NSSavePanel call noteFileSystemChanged automatically, so you don’t need to use the NSWorkspace methods if you save a file using either of these classes.
