Sorry for the late reply, family emergency that I had to leave for....

Yes that is exactly something I was looking for. It is a shame that Apple has not thought of this, that people may need something like this.
I guess I will write a enhancement request for Apple to add something like this.


Thanks for your reply anyway.

Thanks,

So what I am looking for is a way to override the display, to show file names, or if anyone has re-written the NSOpenPanel to allow users
to change the display string for a file, and is either open sourced or for sale.

I don't think that you can do that using NSOpenPanel - and it's a shame that you can't.
It would be great if you could plug a custom data source into the open panel, just have it conform to some sort of protocol. Take our case: We have files stored on a server that the user should be able to browse and "open". It would make sense to be able to re-use the regular open panel for this purpose. As it is, we've solved this problem by creating our own open panel. Not that difficult, but it feels like a waste of time nonetheless...
