To carry this a bit further, your application might not even reside on a volume to which the user could /ever/ have write access, regardless of permissions. Read-only disk image? DVD? Read-only network share? These are all possible scenarios for which an application should be prepared. (I realize the thread wound up being about iPad, but this is a good thing to point out in general.) -- mikey _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
