IMHO you shouldn’t hardcode writing anything into Documents. That folder is for the user’s use. — If the file shouldn’t be user-visible, or if the user has no reason to use the file directly, don’t put it in a folder that's for user files. Instead use Application Support, Preferences, Caches, Logs… — If the file _should_ be user-visible, you should give the user a choice of where to put it, i.e. use a Save panel instead of hardcoding ~/Documents. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
