When do you want it to? on every keypress? or when the user presses return? If the latter, use the action method. The former could be problematic from a usability point of view. What if the folder has files named "Picture1" and "Picture12"? When I have typed "Picture1" you would start a slow operation before I want. The latter is also problematic because it requires the user to press return, and it's not necessarily obvious that that is required. Might I suggest using an NSPathControl (with NSPathStylePopUp) instead of a textfield? It would allow the user to drag and drop a file, or choose one through an open panel. It sends an action to its target when the user provides a new file. You could update your NSImage from the action method.
