Hi all,
I'm also trying to get my head around this sandboxing issue. I can think of another type of app where I can't see how it will work. Take Xcode. An Xcode document contains links to many files which could be scattered anywhere on the user's disk. The user expects to be able to read and write those files by saving the document, not by saving the individual files. How can such an app exist in a sandbox?
Here's another one: an app which scans files on the disk (for collecting file sizes and counts). Would such an app work under sandboxing? When the user selects a directory with the NSSavePanel , does the app get read/write access to that directory and all sub-directories?
Sorry if I'm repeating things, but I've been reading all the threads on this issue and I haven't emerged with a clear picture of how we can go forward with sandboxing for such apps.
Best wishes,
Martin
