Re: NSTextView and sound/movie attachments

- the NSData contains the actual binary data for the sound or movie and I can succesfully create an attributed string from that to be exported as RTFD and read it successfully from TextEdit (I see the controller). But then as you say, the file is there in the package. Hmmm.
- Also, as soon as I drag the sound file to the NSTextView, I see the controller. If I try to delete the file, the Finder says it's in use, until I quit the app.

Is there a way to avoid getting the binary data in the RTFD (RTFDFromRange) but just get a link/alias, so that I can write/copy the sound/movie to a separate file?

Image files work ok.

I checked the code for TextEdit, and saw that it uses:
- (NSFileWrapper *)RTFDFileWrapperFromRange:(NSRange)range documentAttributes:(NSDictionary *)dict;

The thing is I need to be able to store the RTFD (or attributed string) in my own archived object.
How can I do this? How can I restore the RTFD back into the NSTextView?

Currently I believe the situation is that embedded sound/movies in a text view need an actual file on disk in order for them to be able to play. This limitation may be lifted in the future.
