NSOpenPanel and aliases - bug??


  • Subject: NSOpenPanel and aliases - bug??
  • From: Donald Hall <email@hidden>

I have an application written with the Dec 2001 dev tools that uses NSOpenPanel for file selection:

result = [panel runModalForDirectory:defaultFolderPath
file:nil
types:nil];

On a 10.1.3 machine the open panel does not handle Macintosh aliases correctly. If the alias is to a bundle-type application, I can select the alias and it behaves just as a file does, though it has a folder icon, not its proper icon. However, if the original file is non-bundle application (e.g. an AppleScript application), the panel seems to treat the alias as if it were a folder. It appears with a triangle following it, and it you click on the alias name you get another column which is blank.

On a 10.2.1 machine the latter works as expected as far as I can tell. (However, the bundled application still appears in the panel with a folder icon.)

Searching the mamasam archive leads me to believe this is a bug. If so, can anyone tell me at which OS version it was corrected?

Thanks,

Don
