Plus if this is for the app store, chances you won't be approved with such a temporary entitlement. Apple's point of view — and one that I agree with here — is that the Library is something your users need not know or care about. Instead provide a means for (un)installing plug-ins from within your app itself, and do so by placing them inside your sandbox. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
