Solution not found in the cocoabuilder archive.

Problem:
--------

I have a list of files and folders.

I can add items to this list through a standard NSOpenPanel dialog.

When a folder is already in the list, I want to prevent the user from selecting it from the NSOpenPanel dialog.

I can do this with:

- (BOOL) panel:(id)sender shouldShowFilename:(NSString *) inFileName;

The problem is that this prevents the user from selecting a file within this folder from the NSOpenDialog.

Question:
---------

Is there a way to prevent a folder from being selected but still allow a file within this folder to be selected?

Yes; I think just calling setCanChooseDirectories:NO will work.

If not, then:

1. Don't use shouldShowFilename:
2. Call setCanChooseDirectories:NO
3. Call beginForDirectory:.. types:(your types)

If you have to do some specific dynamic processing to turn on/off enabled types, then you may be out of luck.

Feel free to log a bug requesting to make this process easier. (I already do have some bugs logged for this ability to be easier, so I am aware of the problem).

Hmm. Actually, I want the user to be able to choose a folder/ directory as long as it's not already in my list of files/folders.

Otherwise, setCanChooseDirectories:NO would work,

Or am I missing something and you're suggesting to call setCanChooseDirectories:NO:NO from the panel:shouldShowFilename: delegate method?
