Properly check file URLs if they are ubiquitous (iCloud docs)

[pjrobertson]

Fixes a small comment Rob made on the 10.9 bug page.

I've looked into the revealing of iCloud items in Finder and it doesn't seem possible... now I have a bigger can of worms to work with

If this is the best we can do, I’ll take it, but any ideas why the NSFileManager method quit working? It seems tailor-made for a situation like this.

Also, from reading the docs on isUbiquitousItemAtURL:, with your changes, it’s now checking that the file has been uploaded to iCloud, which isn’t really what we want. We just want to know if it’s supposed to be uploaded at some point.

I’d almost rather just check the parent folder like I did on the very first try.

OK, then how about NSURLIsUbiquitousItemKey

See NSURL.h
The other options would be to check: NSURLUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusKey and see what is returned. It’d probably be nil for non-ubiquitous items (but this is 10.9+ only)

See my force-pushed updates. The 2nd commit is a hangover from me trying to fix the 2nd thing you mentioned (reveal in Finder).
Even though it doesn't fix it, it'll be useful for revealing files when using the comma trick (which currently doesn't work... hence my can of worms)

Seems more in line with what we were doing before. As long as you’re force-pushing… Can you indent line 144 with spaces like the rest. It’s not lining up right now.

I’ll test the other changes with the Path Finder plug-in and update it if necessary.

Oh, I guess I can’t test Reveal with the comma trick until we sort out the problem with actions. :-)

It’s not present in 4008, so it must have been introduced recently.

Made a branch that combines ubiquitous with nsstringuti to test the Reveal changes. Works great. The Path Finder behavior could be improved, but it’s passable as is.
