Something really cool happened right now while editing an OmniOutliner
document: I moved the file to a brand new folder behind the scenes
while the document was open, something I had forget. When I switched to
OmniOutliner and wanted to save the document, the program suggested to
save it in its current correct folder! Magic!
I was pleasently surprised so I played around a bit and noted that if
instead of the file itself I moved its folder, the application updates
the file in its current location transparently.
First of all my admiration to the Omni developers for implementing such
refined details. But I wonder how that can be accomplished technically.
Can an application install some hook to be notified of files and
folders moves?
