if i can follow up please about authorization services i just want
to be sure i'm on the right track. if i'm just trying to do a
simple movePath but i don't have access is the only way to get
access by using authorizationExecuteWithPrivileges? i keep reading
about how i should avoid it if possible. i have followed
authorizing in a simple self-restricted application according to
the docs but i don't really see what i can do after i get
authorization...maybe i'm missing something? i guess i'm just
looking for confirmation if i must use
authorizationExecuteWithPrivileges or not, and if so can i control
the timeout because the docs seem to say it needs authentication
every time. thanks again for the help and patience,
Yes, AEWP is what you'll need. You factor out your "move the file"
code into a helper tool and execute that with AEWP.
Much of the advice about avoiding AEWP is to steer people away from
needlessly elevating their own privileges, and when they do need to do
so ensuring that they take the time to read and understand the sample
code.
You can also ask to the Finder to do it using AppleEvent. The Finder
will ask the user its password if needed and will take care of the
hard part for you.
