But it IS a document, yes? Give the user a place to name the file
(document template) and a button to save it, then save it to the
desired location. Of course, you'd need also UI to retrieve the
template (or a fresh copy, perhaps). I don't see why you'd
particularly need an NSSavePanel.

What I am trying to save are document templates. There can be any
number of those. They need to be named by the user.

Hi!
I would like to offer the option to save a (NS)document to a
fixed location. I.e. the user is free to chose the file name, but
not the location.
One option I see is to set the document as delegate to the
NSSavePanel and have it reset the target directory each time the
user changes it. That ought to work, but does not seem to be good
UI. I'd rather forbid the change than reverse it.
The other option is to write my own save panel. But then I'd have
to handle quite some stuff myself that NSSavePanel ought to take
care of. E.g. duplicate file names.
Thoughts welcome...
Best,
Pierre
You could not bother with any sort of save panel and simply save
the file to the location you want. In my app, the user can save
groups of settings to be reloaded. The settings are saved as
plists and I save them to the Application Support/myApp folder.
This way the user doesn't need to decide where to put the saved
settings and navigate to them when he/she wants to reload them.
