NSMetadataQuery & file deletion

I'm using an NSMetadataQuery to track changes to my app's documents directory, and it's going pretty well, but I've hit a snag.


I recently switched over to checking the notification's userInfo dictionary rather than looping over the entire results array every time. Problem is, deleted files aren't showing up in the NSMetadataQueryUpdateRemovedItemsKey array – that's always empty. Instead, they're showing up as "changed" which I suppose is *technically* true, but I'm not sure how to tell that the change is that they were *deleted*.


This seems like a bug; should I report it as such? In either case, is there something I'm missing – how do I tell which files were deleted?
