Hi Mike,
This is pretty trivial.. I have a string that is coming from an FCP XML file. The string looks like this:
file:/localhost/Users/bob/Movies/ARRI/ELAP/shot_1_2/Imagery/Proxies/DMAG001_1_2_TAKE_005_RAWPROXY720P.mov
I then pass the string to an NSURL object using: (Yes, I know I can do a "fileURLWithPath:" -- I am trying to troubleshoot where the problem is.)
NSURL *url = [[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[[pathurlArray objectAtIndex:0] stringValue]] autorelease];
Then, I try to get an NSString object by doing:
[url path]
This is where things go wildly wrong.. the NSString value ends up being a path to my binary.
bob.
