This is not quite true. On Leopard, the dirhelper utility deletes files from NSTemporaryDirectory that were last accessed more than three days ago; if a user leaves your app running for more than 3 days, dirhelper will happily delete files out from under it. See http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2009/1/15/227830 Unfortunately, this makes NSTemporaryDirectory unusable for my purposes as I need the data to be around for the lifetime of the app. -Steve _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
