Hi all,I'm a little confused by the following situation: I have an NSPathControl (PopUp-Style) that should only allow certain paths to be selected. Therefore I have a controller-object that I set as the delegate of the NSPathControl and the NSOpenPanel that will be presented if a user clicks on the "Choose..." item in the path-popup. This is working fine except for the delegate method - (NSString *)panel:(id)sender userEnteredFilename:(NSString *)filename confirmed:(BOOL)okFlag which somehow doesn't seem to be called.
The documentation for the NSSavePanel class says that the - panel:userEnteredFilename:confirmed: message is "sent when the user confirms a filename choice by hitting OK or Return in the NSSavePanel." That is not an issue for a NSOpenPanel because the user is only choosing among existing files.
More curiously: If I trick the panel in selecting an "invalid" path through creation of a new directory, I cannot open that path - which at least is half of what I wanted to accomplish in the first place... I guess I'm doing something terribly and obviously stupid here, but I just don't see it...
Why aren't you just implementing a -panel:shouldShowFilename: method in your delegate to decide which files should and should not be selectable in your NSOpenPanel? The delegate methods you listed in your code snippet are all about validating a new filename when you're going to be saving a file.
