That’s done because the Open panel itself can’t be bound by the limitations of a sandboxed process. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the NSOpenPanel code in your process is thread-safe, though, so unless you’re told that it can be used on a background thread I wouldn’t do it. Even if it works today, you might find it crashes in two weeks when you try it on the (hypothetical) beta of 10.10. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
