I'm using an NSOpenPanel to open files in my application. It works
great except when I create a new directory outside of my application.
That directory is not recognized in the NSOpenPanel unless I quit and
reload my application. Is there any sort of refresh I can do on the
NSOpenPanel object so it can behave as I would expect it to?

I would like to know this too. My app opens text documents. If I save some
new text documents elsewhere while my app is open, and I come back to my app
and choose File > Open, the new text documents are not shown in the
directory where they actually are. I have to quit my app and start it up
again in order to force the File > Open dialog to refresh itself. I regard
this as a bug in Cocoa, but maybe there's a workaround and I'd like to hear
about it if there is. m.

If this is a Cocoa bug, it seems likely to be somewhere in the document-based architecture (I assume your app uses NSDocument). I make this assumption because neither TextEdit (which doesn't use NSDocument) nor my own app (ditto) suffer this problem. In both these applications, new files created as you describe show up right away in Open panels.


Hold on a second... I just tried it with Taco HTML Edit (which *does* use NSDocument, so far as I can tell), and that behaves correctly too.

So presumably not a Cocoa bug...?
