I have an NSDocument, and in order to save it, I override the method:

In order not to lose the original file until I am sure saving was
completed properly, I save in a temporary file, and when this is done,
I delete the original file, and rename my temporary file.

Aren't you re-inventing the wheel here? Doesn't the framework already do this?

Yes, the framework does this in -[NSDocument writeSafelyToURL:..]. Using FSExchangeObjects doesn't result in the problem the OP mentions, but the temp file and destination file have to reside on the same volume. I had to write my own implementation of writeSafelyToURL: yesterday since 10.5's safe saving is broken.
