Congratulations, your app uses the file system in a simple way, and in the way that was largely anticipated by the sandboxing design.

It's when you have slightly unusual requirements that things get tricky. If you want to retain access to a file you opened across relaunches of your app, sandboxing will prevent that without special steps being taken. If you want to use the Save dialog to save a file WITHIN your sandbox, you can't. If you need access to files whose paths or URLs you create programmatically (e.g. you select a file.foo but it has a counterpart file.bar that you also need to access) you can't...

These are the sorts of issues that have caused so much grief, not the simple ones you mention.
