I've been playing around with the information returned on files by
PBGetCatInfo. Has anyone looked at the FInfo or FxInfo fields (DInfo and
DxInfo if you're looking at a folder))? These records contain information
that is supposed to be used by the Finder to position icons in a window. I
can't seem to figure out what coordinates are being used in the point and rect
fields. Are these global coordinates, blocks on a grid, position in a list,
or what? Are there different ways of interpreting the info in different
"View" modes? What about icons that aren't currently visible in the window?
Any insight on how the Finder keeps track of where files and folders are in
a window would be greatly appreciated.
