Hello,

In a sandboxed application, you can read/write files without the save
dialog by using the "File Access Temporary Exceptions" (cf.
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/EntitlementKeyReference/AppSandboxTemporaryExceptionEntitlements/AppSandboxTemporaryExceptionEntitlements.html).
These keys describe the folders in which you want to read/write files,
either relative to user home folder or absolute.

Here is an example to read any files inside the /Users folder:

<key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-only</key>
 <array>
<string>/Users/</string>
</array>

Here is an example to read and write any files inside the user home:

<key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write</key>
 <array>
<string>/</string>
</array>

Regards, Laurent Etiemble.
