Hi all,
This is probably a very basic question, but I can't find the answer
in the doc or the archive.
I want to export my app's document to PDF/HTML, so I implemented the
NSExportableAs key as described in
file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/
Conceptual/Documents/Tasks/FAQ.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000954
(BTW is it possible to do that in Xcode, instead of changing the
info.plist file directly?)
Then I actually get an accessory view in the save panel, but the two
new formats are greyed out in the popup menu and can't be selected! I
don't understand why: is there something else to do to export in a
different format?
Also a side question: do you think it's a good idea to use "Save as",
taking into account that my app can't read the PDF/HTML files back?
Maybe an "export" menu item would be clearer, but in that case, is
there a simple way to run the save panel with the appropriate format
selected?
Have you tried adding a "Save Copy As..." (or "Export" or whatever)
menu item and connecting it to First Responder's -saveDocumentTo:
action method? By default, "Save As" is connected to -saveDocumentAs:,
which isn't quite the same thing.
Thanks for the suggestion, it actually does work! Starting form
"saveDocumentTo:" instead of "saveDocumentAs:" does the trick. (I don't
understand how it works,...) However, do you know how to the format
popup is composed in that case, and if there is any way to preselect
one item? It looks strange to have the normal format of documents in an
"export" menu item.
Thanks again,
Thomas Lachand-Robert
