NSDocument fileWrapperOfType:: invalidates returned wrapper, options?

I have an NSDocument based app that has uses packages do to store a complex structure.

When I open a document, I keep the wrapper around handed to the document in

-readFromFileWrapper:ofType:error:

in order to lazy-load parts of the package when my app needs them. Similarly, I keep the wrapper when saving (which is the same object unless it's a new document that didn't have a wrapper before). And here the trouble starts.

For some reason, when I try to lazy-load package files located down the wrapper hierarchy after saving, they are still available (meaning the sub-wrapper objects are there) but the content returned by -regularFileContents is nil.

The documentation states that this can happen when the user moves the file after the wrapper has been created. I suspect that this is a side effect of safe-saving, which writes temporary files and moves them into place when everything worked out correctly.

I'm "fixing" this by calling -readFromURL:options:error: on the document package's root wrapper in the completionHandler of NSDocument's

-saveToURL:forSaveOperation:completionHandler:

but it doesn't feel right. I'm wondering if there's a better way to make sure the wrapper points to the right place once saving is complete.

Regards
Markus
