In an attempt to replicate a feature similar to Xcode's New Project
window, I used NSDocumentController's makeUntitledDocumentOfType:
method to create a new document instance, and then used NSDocument
setFileName: to specify where the file is located. When the document is
asked to save though (with saveDocument) it says it doesn't know where
it should save the file to, and then brings up a save dialog which is
precisely what I'm trying to prevent.
With a bit of detective work I've figured out that saveDocument
"doesn't know" where the file is located because the file set with
setFileName doesn't yet exist. If it does already exist, my method
works fine. So as a workaround, I can create an empty file first and
then subsequent calls to saveDocument won't ask where to save it to,
but I'm thinking I'm missing something.
Any ideas?
