Hi,

I want to have a button on my app that loads a selected file into 'Preview', I know I could run a shell command, like

open -a /Applications/Preview.app /myfile

but this doesn't seem a very good way to do it, i.e. what if the user has moved Preview.

Is there anything in Cocoa for this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance


Yeah look at NSWorkspace

- (BOOL)openFile:(NSString *)fullPath;
- (BOOL)openFile:(NSString *)fullPath withApplication:(NSString *)appName;
- (BOOL)openFile:(NSString *)fullPath withApplication:(NSString *)appName andDeactivate:(BOOL)flag;
