I figured out how to get the NSPathControl to "resize" after changing an NSPathComponentCell URL. I realize that the description I gave is vague, so here is a better explanation..
I am changing the URL of a NSPathComponent in the middle of NSPathControl's overall URL. By making the change, I was hoping that the imagery would adjust itself after I made the change. This turned out to not be the case. Here is what I discovered: NSPathComponentCell contains its "fragment" of the path. If you have a path like: /Users/myhome/Movies/Summer/MyMovie.mov and you want to change "Summer" to "Winter", you would find the NSComponentCell and make the URL change. (ie: /Users/myhome/Movies/Summer becomes /Users/myhome/Movies/Winter) The problem is that NSPathControl still sees the original path with "Summer". I found that I had to iterate through the rest of the NSPathComponentCells in NSPathControl, and update each of the subsequent NSComponentCell objects with the new URL fragments. I then took the last URL fragment, and then updated NSPathControl with the newly changed URL. That no only re-drew the artwork, but also correctly updated the URL path in NSPathControl. A lot of work, but thats what it took. bob..
