FileWrapper iCloud
Does fileWrapper functionality make it easier or harder or is completely irrelevant for iCloud document functionality? My app used to need the fileWrapper functionality and it's still in there but I don't need it anymore and I want to remove it all. Would it help me keep it?

Re: FileWrapper iCloud
File wrappers don't make it inherently easier or harder to deal with iCloud. File packages (which you would use file wrappers to represent) can be elegant means of wrapping up document data because it allows for easy separation of distinct components, and are usually recommended if they at all make sense for your application. There's some discussion about when it makes sense to use file packages in the WWDC session: http://developer.apple.com/itunes/?destination=adc.apple.com.16351493766 Luke On Nov 10, 2012, at 9:00 AM, Brad Stone cocoa-...@softraph.commailto:cocoa-...@softraph.com wrote: Does fileWrapper functionality make it easier or harder or is completely irrelevant for iCloud document functionality?

Re: FileWrapper iCloud
I don¹t know about iCloud, but I finally got file wrappers working for my NSPersistentDocument subclass. It wasn¹t easy. I use a separate folder for stored files, sibling to my coreData storage, in the same package. I based it losely on the NSPersistentDocumentFileWrappers sample, then let my ³File² entity objects handle the creation and use of the folder. For ³saveAs² I had it copy the folder (if it exists) to the new location after it did the coreData and file package stuff.

Re: Templates for program output
Ah, that set me off on the right track. I then also came across MGTemplateEngine, which seems to be just what I want (I need loops and logic). Thanks!
