Although if you're interested in only the path, there's
FSRefMakePath as well, which is actually a bit easier. Most of my

If I remember well, the drawback of FSRefMakePath is that it only
works on existing files. It does not work on new (non-existing)
files. It might not be a problem in this case, it is just a thing
to keep in mind :-)
True, but the downside of using CFURLCreateFromFileSystemPath is that
any HFS path is not guaranteed to be unique because two volumes can
be mounted with the same name. The FSRef method is guaranteed to work
without confusion, and if you must, you can always get the CFURL to
the parent, then get the child with the name given in
REALFSRefFromFolderItem.
