I am trying to do a GUI for RarSofts archiver RAR, quite popular among
Windows users for its good compression ratios and splitting
capabilities. The application will work pretty much like StiffIt Deluxe
does.
I think I should use a Document based application as I want the user to
be able to handle many archives at once. So in some way or another I
guess I should subclass NDDocument.
Now '-readFromFile:ofType:' and '-writeToFile:ofType:' feels like
sound starters as they only handle filenames and all I really want is
to have access to the actual file on disk as no data will be kept in
memory. All access to the files will be through NSTask and the RAR
executable provided for free by RarSoft. And then the NSDocumt should
only provide the basic features as file selectors and instancing the
WindowController that handles the neat display and usability.
So my question is simply: Am I thinking along the right path? And what
is the best way for me to proceed?
regards
Fredrik Olsson
