Well, you may want to quit your app before you delete it, though (and refuse to uninstall until the user has quit it). Files may only actually get deleted when they're closed, but all the resources in your file package will generally only be opened as needed, and will thus be deleted immediately. If a resource your app needs to save the currently open file or that's otherwise needed has already been deleted, you could corrupt user data. -- Uli Kusterer "The Witnesses of TeachText are everywhere..." http://www.masters-of-the-void.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
