Add item to NSSavePanel sidebar
Hi, I need to allow user to save some data to a file or a recordable cd ( dvd ), using NSSavePanel. Is it possible to programmatically add an icon representing recordable media to NSSavePanel's sidebar? Writing will be performed on-fly, so standard way used in Finder with 'untitled cd' icon and 'burn' button is unsuitable. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

I image that it would be possible to read that file and change the place where it mentions all the items in the sidebar to include your directory. If I had to guess I would probably say that sidebar data is stored in ~/ Library/Preferenced/com.apple.finder.plist. If this is true, you can read all of the data into a NSDictionary, which will make the file very easy to edit make it very easy to edit. You also might need to restart finder after you make the change using something like killall finder.

The Open/Save panels are not part of the Finder; they're just drawn that way. They're really part of the AppKit framework. I agree there's probably a shared plist somewhere that describes the configuration of the sidebar, but (a) messing with this without the user's consent would be a bad idea, and (b) there's no way to get NSSavePanel in your own process to notice the file's changed, since you don't want to kill yourself... —Jens smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
