Thanks Sean
That's certainly interesting, but seems like overkill in my case. SMJobBless seems to be addressing a bigger problem - how to let an app run privileged tasks without authorizing the entire app and without repeatedly asking the user for a password.
That's not quite what I want. I actually want the user to be prompted for the password whenever it's needed just in the same way that Finder does.
I don't see that as quite the same thing. All I'm trying to do is to get the system to not fail the move with a permission denied error and to seek that permission from the user. I can achieve this simply enough with applescript, but I was hoping there was a Cocoa solution.
Best
Phil
