Good grief, I didn't notice that you said "non-sandboxed". The biggest difference between being launched under Xcode and launched from the Finer, in terms of questions to this list from confused devs, is the default working directory. Check your paths. Check the path of the prefs file you want to access, check the file of the helper utility you're launching via NSTask, check every path you're using to make sure that you're ultimately using full paths and that they're correct. (I'd just use NSLog, and look at the console output after a run where it "doesn't do anything"--if you see either the wrong full path or a relative path, there's your problem.) -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
