NSURLMBS.fileURLWithFileSystemRepresentation(path as string, isDirectory as boolean, relativeToURL as NSURLMBS) as NSURLMBS

File system representation is a string with canonical UTF-8 encoding.

NSURLMBS.fileURLWithPath(path as string) as NSURLMBS

Better to use fileURLWithPath with directory parameter if you know if the path is a directory vs non-directory, as it saves an i/o.

NSURLMBS.fileURLWithPathComponents(components() as string) as NSURLMBS

NSURLMBS.mountedVolumeURLs(SkipHidden as boolean = true) as NSURLMBS()

if SkipHidden is true, hidden volumes are skipped.
Returns nil in case of error.

Some examples using this method:

• /MacBase/NSURL Volume Details

NSURLMBS.URLsResourceValuesForKeys(URLs() as NSURLMBS, keys() as string, targetDelegate as URLsResourceValuesForKeysDelegateMBS, tag as Variant = nil, PrecacheIcons as boolean = false)

Similar to resourceValuesForKeys, this method will start a preemptive thread and queries values for all URLs on all keys in background. Once done it calls the delegate on main thread.
For icons, you can set PrecacheIcons to true. In that case plugin will draw icon on the preemptive thread, so icon data is really loaded from disk. When you than draw on main thread, it's really quick.

the delegate is declared like this:
URLsResourceValuesForKeysDelegateMBS(URLs() as NSURLMBS, keys() as String, Values() as Dictionary, Errors() as NSErrorMBS, tag as Variant)

Some examples using this method:

• /MacBase/NSURL async icon loading

NSURLMBS.URLWithHandle(Handle as Integer) as NSURLMBS

Will retain the reference.

NSURLMBS.URLWithItem(Item as FolderItem) as NSURLMBS

Var f as FolderItem = GetFolderItem("/Volumes/Ablage1", FolderItem.PathTypeNative)
Var n as NSURLMBS = NSURLMBS.URLWithItem(f)
MsgBox n.absoluteString

NSURLMBS.URLWithString(URL as string) as NSURLMBS

See also:

• URLWithString(URL as string, baseURL as NSURLMBS) as NSURLMBS

NSURLMBS.URLWithString(URL as string, baseURL as NSURLMBS) as NSURLMBS

This method allows you to create a URL relative to a base path or URL. For example, if you have the URL for a folder on disk and the name of a file within that folder, you can construct a URL for the file by providing the folder’s URL as the base path (with a trailing slash) and the filename as the string part.

This method expects URLString to contain only characters that are allowed in a properly formed URL. All other characters must be properly percent escaped. Any percent-escaped characters are interpreted using UTF-8 encoding.
