OK. I’ll have to answer my own question. Please forgive me answer is neither definitive nor complete, and is ugly - but it works.
Generally: 1. In a Document based application - the [[[NSDocumentController sharedController] documents] firstObject] will give you also access to the file. 2. In a non-document based application - If you have the NSWindow of the open document, you can use [NSWindow representedURL] to get to the file. However: 3. Alas - my Installer plugin bundle,throughout its lifecycle, has all its NSView’s window property set to nil. Also, within the Installer App, [NSDocumentController sharedController] documents] is always empty too. My final workaround was to use [[NSApp mainWindow] representedURL] when my installer plugin was called with- (void)willEnterPane:(InstallerSectionDirection)dir which is called from the main-window as the user clicks a “next” button on the installer previous stages. It works - although very ugly hack. Hope it will help someone out... > On 30 Mar 2016, at 20:11, Jens Alfke <j...@mooseyard.com> wrote: > > >> On Mar 30, 2016, at 1:47 AM, Motti Shneor <su...@bezeqint.net >> <mailto:su...@bezeqint.net>> wrote: >> >> But still, If a package file was double-clicked to launch the Installer App, >> and it received an “Open File” event, is there a way to get to the file >> later on, without actually catching this event? > > No, not as far as I know.
