applescript too
Authored by: SOX on Sep 01, '05 01:53:42PM

The finder appears to cache a lot of things that get out of synch.

For example, write an applescript to report the owner and file permissions on a file the finder sees. run it. Change the permissions from the command line. re-run your script. It will report the OLD values. THis is really a security hole since it means an applescript cant reliably determine if a file is owned by root.

I think you can force it to update by calling the finder's get info, but I'm not sure.
