Hi all,

My doc-based application is able to import foreign file formats. I do
this by creating a new instance of my NSPersistentDocument subclass and
populate it as needed.


Works fine, but results in a document named "Untitled i". Is there a
way to name it something like "original_filename (Converted)"?
setFileURL: doesn't seem appropriate since I don't want to ask the user
to choose an on-disk location.

Don't have time to go into the details, but here's what I do...

- (void)saveMoveToNewPath:(NSString*)newPath {
NSString* oldPath = [[self fileURL] path] ;
NSString* defaultType = [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] defaultType] ;
NSString* requiredExtension = [SSYAppInfo fileExtensionForDocumentType:defaultType] ;
NSURL* newURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:newPath] ;
if (![[newPath pathExtension] isEqualToString:requiredExtension]) {
newPath = [newPath stringByAppendingPathExtension:requiredExtension] ;
newURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:newPath] ;
}
NSError* error_ = nil ;
BOOL ok = [self saveToURL:newURL
ofType:[self fileType]
forSaveOperation:NSSaveOperation
error:&error_] ;
...
