Hi Jerry,

After adding a "Save As Move" command to an application, I was getting a different but related warning, something like "Document has been moved, do you really want to save it to a new location?" The solution was to sprinkle in an extra invocation of saveToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:error: immediately after setFileURL:.

I don't care for that solution, as it means -writeToURL:etc will be invoked twice. For my documents, that's a heavy penalty. But I do remember the warning you quoted appearing too often, even after a user confirmed an external move/rename. My workaround was to add this after the file is saved successfully:

[self performSelectorIfResponds:@selector(_resetMoveAndRenameSensing)];


It's an undocumented method, so all the usual warnings apply.

If you figure it out, please post the answer for the list archives. I may need it someday :)

haha.. I did end up with a solution that works for my situation. In my NSDocument overrides, rather than invoking -writeSafelyToURL:etc I can call -saveToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:error: to do the work. The latter appears to call the former, and properly manages the file location tracking without generating the erroneous prompts. I don't know how I earlier missed this obvious solution.


Thanks!
~Martin
