So, is .../Containers/.../Data/Pictures linked to ~/Pictures automatically?
I am searching that directory (if the user did not specify any other directory)
for images using Spotlight.
Apparently, Spotlight starts delivering images to my screensaver, and at some
point it gets killed or hangs. I was wondering if that happens when Spotlight
tries to deliver images from the Photos database (which is also stored in
~/Pictures).

My screensaver has that feature, too.

Do I have to do anything special to ensure that?
Currently, I am using this very simple code:
- (IBAction) selectDirectory: (id) __attribute__ ((unused)) sender
{
NSOpenPanel *oPanel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
long int result;
[oPanel setAllowsMultipleSelection: NO];
[oPanel setCanChooseDirectories: YES];
[oPanel setCanChooseFiles: NO];
[oPanel setDirectoryURL: [NSURL URLWithString: directoryLocation_]];
result = [oPanel runModal];
if ( result != NSModalResponseOK )
return;
NSURL * url = [[oPanel URLs] objectAtIndex: 0];
NSString * aDir = [url path];
...
> and I store security-scoped bookmark data for each url they choose.
How do I do that? how would I use such url's?
Could you explain this a bit further, or maybe you can provide a pointer where
I can read up on this?
Best regards, Gabriel
