Disabling Display of JPG and PDF Files in NSTextView

Hi All.

Have been working on this one, then dropping it, then coming back to it.... kinda like the cat you mistakenly fed once.

I looked through the archives and Googled, which is what has gotten me this far... it was alot worse!

NSTextView automatically displays JPG and PDF as images, instead of icons, and while many people would be thrilled with this feature, I don't want it. A posting from a while back fostered in getting the code this far (this is raw without any checks or releases):


///////////////// BEGIN CODE SNIPPET ////////////////////////////
NSFileWrapper *theFileWrapper =[[NSFileWrapper alloc] initWithPath:filePath];
[theFileWrapper setPreferredFilename:attachmentName];


NSTextAttachment *theAttachment = [[NSTextAttachment alloc]initWithFileWrapper:theFileWrapper];
NSTextAttachmentCell *bCell = [[NSTextAttachmentCell alloc] initImageCell:[theFileWrapper icon]];

// BEGIN Another attempt at resolving jpg and pdf file attachment!
if ([filePath hasSuffix:@"jpg"] || [filePath hasSuffix:@"pdf"] || [filePath hasSuffix:@"jpeg"])
{
[theAttachment setAttachmentCell:bCell];
[bCell setAttachment:theAttachment];
}
// END Another attempt at resolving jpg and pdf file attachment
// RESOLVED. OOPS! Not resolved! Again...

[[attachmentTextView textStorage] appendAttributedString:
[NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:theAttachment]];


///////////////// END SNIPPET ////////////////////////////

This gets me most of the way there. It shows up in the text view as an icon,
and I was psyched for about a month. Out bragging with fellow Cocoa developers
and wearing a crown.... until I reopened one of my saved files, clicked on one of those
icons to see that after I closed the document and re-opened it, there seemed to
be no data stored in the attachment.


Here is what I do to try and re-open the attachment:

///////////////// BEGIN CODE SNIPPET ////////////////////////////
- (void)textView:(NSTextView *)textView clickedOnCell:(id <NSTextAttachmentCell>)cell inRect:(NSRect)cellFrame atIndex:(unsigned)charIndex
{
NSTextAttachment *myAttachment = [[[NSTextAttachment alloc]init]autorelease];
myAttachment = [cell attachment];
NSFileWrapper *myFileWrapper = [myAttachment fileWrapper];
NSData *myData = [myFileWrapper regularFileContents];

NSWorkspace *myWorkspace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];

NSFileManager *projectFile = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

// New way using temporary directory
NSMutableString *myPath = [[[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:NSTemporaryDirectory()]autorelease];
[myPath appendString:[myFileWrapper preferredFilename]];
[projectFile createFileAtPath:myPath
contents:myData
attributes:nil];

[myWorkspace openFile:myPath];

}
/////////////////// END SNIPPET /////////////////////////////


Any ideas? This should be much easier! Never had to work so hard to turn something off.
