Hi,
Hold on here. My application permits the user to place files in the
same folder as the application so the application can access the files
(all the files). I did not want the user doing complex selection in an
open panel. I felt the user experience would be simplified. Writing a
help book that tells the user to place a file in this or that ~/Library
folder is not a good idea (my opinion).
Is there any apple employee out there that knows of a "don't do
this...." file access rule?
