Hi,
Is anybody aware of a change/bug-fix somewhere between 10.4.3 and
10.4.7 where creating a directory in applicationWillFinishLaunching
works in 10.4.7 but not in 10.4.3?
On my PowerBook running 10.4.7 everything works fine, but on my iBook
running 10.4.3 the directory is not created, even though to the code
it looks like it does. Surprisingly [fileManager
createDirectoryAtPath:myAppDirectoryPath attributes:nil] returns
successfully, so my code doesn't see the error until later when it
looks for the app's directory in the application support folder and
finds it is not there.
On 10.4.3 I can successfully create the directory a moment later in
applicationDidFinishLaunching. But I really need it before that. The
folowing code is called from applicationWillFinishLaunching:
- (NSString *)
createMyAppApplicationSupportDirectoryIfNeededWithDomainMask:(int)
domainMask
{
BOOL isDir, exists, success = NO;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *myAppDirectoryPath = nil;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
(NSApplicationSupportDirectory, domainMask, YES);
if ([paths count] > 0) {
myAppDirectoryPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"MyApp"];
exists = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:myAppDirectoryPath
isDirectory:&isDir];
if (!isDir) {
// There is no MyApp directory so create it
success = [fileManager createDirectoryAtPath:myAppDirectoryPath
attributes:nil];
if (!success) {
myAppDirectoryPath = nil;
NSRunAlertPanel(@"MyApp",
NSLocalizedString(@"Could not create MyApp directory",
@"Could not create the \"MyApp\" directory in %@"),
NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @"OK"),
NULL, NULL,
[myAppDirectoryPath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]);
}
} // if (!isDir)
} else {
NSRunAlertPanel(@"MyApp",
NSLocalizedString(@"AppSupportDirectoryMissing", @"The
Application Support folder is missing."),
NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @"OK"),
NULL, NULL);
}
return myAppDirectoryPath;
}
Thanks,
António
