How do I get a file reference w/o relying on the path?

I want to store a reference to a file in an ivar that will allow the user to change the file's name and/or the directory (i.e. the path) and still allow me to access it. I don't want to create a file (like an ailas). I need to store the file reference in a variable so I can open the file no ma

NSBrowser Question

I have an app that saves it's documents in a fileWrapper. The document's window has a NSBrowser where users can attach files. Before the document is saved for the first time the NSBrower's root is a temporary attachments folder (because the filewrapper doesn't exist). After it's saved that at

NSTextField sendActionOn:

I have an NSTextField and an NSDatePicker on a view. As soon as the user clicks into either on (and before they type anything) I want to send an action. I thought I'd use sendActionOn: but I can't get it to work. The best I can do for the NSTextField is bind an action and in, IB, in the TextF

How do I know when a new object is added to an NSArray or NSCollectionView?

I'd like a viewController to be notified whenever an arrayController adds a new object. Here's why: I have an NSTextField in a view that gets added in an NSCollectionView. There's also an array controller and when I fire the "add:" selector the new view shows up in the collection. The view t
