Sandboxing is not as restrictive than I though it would be.
For example, the documentation for the entitlement: com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write says this entitlement provides: "Read/write access to files the user has selected using an Open or Save dialog" .
I was reading more into that than I should have. If you use the Open dialog to access a file, then you can read and write to the file. You don't have to use the Save dialog to write to the file. And that file
can be anywhere on the file system (except for system files I guess).
And yes the app is really sandboxed. If no entitlements are enabled I can't do anything (except read and write to recent documents in the Open Recent menu).
So with just that entitlement and a Printing Entitlement I can do just about everything I could previously do before Sandboxing.
The only thing I can't do is write comments to the Finder GetInfo window -- because that uses Applescript. But I can live without that.
So unless I'm missing something, sandboxing is a piece of cake.
Thanks,
Jim Merkel
