Re: Sandboxing: Can't bookmark enclosing folder of user-selected file
Ah, does seem you're a bit stuck then. May be worth spending a DTS incident to see if you can get a definitive answer. One workaround that comes to mind is you might be able to export your files such that they go: example.pdf = example.processed.pdf which would mean technically the extension has changed, but not the rest.

However, in the very beginning Apple clearly states that: The related items feature of App Sandbox lets your app access files that have the same name as a user-chosen file, but a different extension. This feature consists of two parts: a list of related extensions in the application’s Info.plist file and code to tell the sandbox what you’re doing. In my case, the extension in most cases remains the same, while the file name changes. So, unless I misunderstand Apple's description, it won't help me. Or am I missing something here?

Sandboxing: Can't bookmark enclosing folder of user-selected file
I'm sandboxing an app for the first time. The app has been out for a few years by now, non-sandboxed. The app receives batches of PDF files and exports them with some changes.
