I would agree with you entirely. However, some users are… often a little challenged, shall we say, to be polite? They use a feature of the app to write a bunch of files out, but for the life of them they can’t find where they went. So they complain that the app is “non intuitive” or somesuch. So defaulting to the desktop makes it easy for them to see where the files went, and if they have any savvyness at all, they’ll then change it to somewhere else. That said, this little epiosode made us rethink this anyway, since we’ll need it to work sandboxed as well as unsandboxed, so now we’ve defaulted to a folder we make inside ~/Documents, and also added a checkbox (on by default) that reveals the written files in the Finder so that they can’t really miss where they went. —Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
