Allowing searches only of the home directory might be a reasonable
approach.
Seems like a bad restriction. People may keep some of their files
outside their home directory (I do). And what about scanning
external disks like CD-Rs or flash drives?
Of all the directory-scanning apps I’ve seen (OmniDiskSweeper,
GrandPerspective, etc.) I can’t think of any that restrict what
directory you can scan.

What I'm trying to do is add a feature to my application that allows a
user to search and make changes to image files that are in subfolders.
(Right now you can just make changes in a folder). This isn't a
general disk sweeper application.
But I agree, I need to allow for the case of searching other drives
etc. For example a digital camera looks like an external volume. So it
would be useful to actually make changes to the images in camera.
