interrupting a modified document save (as) invocation, security


  • Subject: interrupting a modified document save (as) invocation, security
  • From: David Harper <email@hidden>

Hello,

I'm finalizing an application which disallows document saving when not registered.  I've put interrupts in my NSDocument subclass' -saveDocument: and -saveDocumentAs: methods so that [super ...] is only invoked if the application is registered.

However, I've just noticed that when a document is modified so that the undo stack is not empty (ie. every time the user closes a non-empty document - approximately 100% of cases) neither of these methods are called.  So the trial user can successfully save by closing and choosing "Save..." in the resulting dialog.  I've also interrupted -openDocument: in my MainMenuController so the user cannot open the document manually, but the modified document appears in the Open Recent submenu!

I suppose what I'm trying to ask is what method gets invoked upon a prompted save to a modified document as opposed to a manual save via the menu bar / toolbar?

---

As an additional note, I'm not too familiar with "hacking," but from what I have read on the subject I believe it may be possible (maybe even easy) to remove methods from a class, and thus my interrupts would be removed and saving/opening could be enabled for unregistered users.  Granted, other functionality is also disabled but I was wondering if there was a more "hacker-proof" way to disable such functionality?  Maybe notifications?

---

Any suggestions or advice in either subject would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance as always,

- Dave H.
