Hi Mike,
Our products are a video/audio editor application and video effect plugins. In both cases, our file formats (data block for plugin data) can store many file references. Our files keep references to file types such as quicktime movies, audio files and text files as well as links to our program and bin files. We have been shipping products well before the introduction of security-scoped bookmarks. Our customers have very large libraries of edited shows that they often go back to edit or review. The data for these programs is often spread across multiple disk volumes.
Another wrinkle to the problem: Users commonly wil move/delete and then restore to the same or another disk the audio/video/image data while changing projects. One feature that we provide that will also break under sandboxing is the ability to scan the local and network drives to relink media the has been moved or restored to a new location.
