Hi!

Has anyone written an NSFormatter that validates text entered as a valid filename?

I'd like to validate text as it's typed into an NSTextField and ensure that no characters are entered that are not allowed in a filename. Obvious ones like ":" and "/" come to mind to check, but there may be others? Also, it would ensure that the character limit on filenames is not exceeded.

Has this been done as an NSFormatter? Or in some other manner?

FYI you might want to know that : is okay -- although it will display as a / in the finder. Try it.
