and the second time to send the message with the extended information.
Sending two messages in unnecessary overhead. I would just send the extended message to all listeners, if any listener requires it. The node monitoring service notify methods first collect the listeners and then construct the message to be sent, so in between the flags could be checked to decide whether or not to add the extra fields to the message. CU, Ingo
Instead of sending messages can API calls be implemented to manually gain access to the information?? Merely a way to "convert" a node[_ref] to an entry[_ref], perhaps??
status_t convert_node_to_entry(const BNode&, BEntry*); status_t convert_node_to_entry(const node_ref&, entry_ref *); status_t BNode::GetEntry(BEntry*); status_t BNode::GetEntryRef(entry_ref*); Just my thoughts.. (different topic:)Back from vacation, will be pushing out my Package Manager GUI soon for input...
