In der finder info stucture there are quite some fields. One of them is the fdFlags. Can someone point me to were in Inside Mac a break down is given what these things mean.

Here is the text from Technote #40 that should answer your question: "The Finder keeps and uses a series of file information flags for each file. These flags are located in the fdFlags field (a word at offset $28 into an HParamBlockRec) of the ioFlFndrInfo record of a parameter block. They may change with newer versions of the Finder. Finders 5.4 and newer assign the following meanings to the flags: Bit Meaning 0 Set if file/folder is on the desktop (Finder 5.0 and later) 1 bFOwnAppl (used internally) 2 reserved (currently unused) 3 reserved (currently unused) 4 bFNever (never SwitchLaunch) (not implemented) 5 bFAlways (always SwitchLaunch) 6 Set if file is a shareable application 7 reserved (used by System) 8 Inited (seen by Finder) 9 Changed (used internally by Finder) 10 Busy (copied from File System busy bit) 11 NoCopy (not used in 5.0 and later, formerly called BOZO) 12 System (set if file is a system file) 13 HasBundle 14 Invisible 15 Locked" Note: The technote warns that these may change under future systems. This is indeed the case under 7.0. Here are the new meanings: Bit Meaning 0 isOnDesk - reserved (set to zero) 1-3 color - three bits of color coding 4 colorReserved - reserved (set to zero) 5 requiresSwitchLaunch - reserved (set to zero) 6 isShared - Application is available to multiple users 7 hasNoInits - File contains no 'INIT' resources 8 hasBeenInited - Finder has read BNDL info 9 Reserved (set to zero) 10 hasCustomIcon - File or directory has custom icon 11 isStationery - File is a stationery document 12 nameLocked - Can't be renamed from Finder 13 hasBundle - Contains BNDL resource 14 isInvisible - Invisible from Finder and StdFile 15 isAlias - File is an alias This will be documented in the new Inside Mac VI. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions

FdFlags indicates whether the files icon is invisible, whether the file has a bundle, and other characteristics used internally by the Finder: Bit Meaning 0 Set if file is on desktop (hierarchical volumes only) 13 Set if file has a bundle 14 Set if files icon is invisible -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!56.12!Chris.Gehlker Internet: Chris.Gehlker@p12.f56.n114.z1.fidonet.org
