i need to disable opening any files via the "Open Recent" menu items
until the user has specified some information that i save in my app's
prefs. this situation can occur if the user has deliberately or
accidentally deleted the prefs. now, i can (and do) override
-[NSDocumentController openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error:]
which takes care of the situation in which the user double clicks a
file in the finder.
however, in addition to this, i would like to dim/disable any files
that happen to be in the "Open Recents" file (sub-)menu. for the time
being, i'm overriding -[NSDocumentController validateMenuItem:] and
seeing if the action for the passed in menuItem is
_openRecentDocument:. but since this is an undocumented api, i prefer
to accomplish this in a more "legal" manner, but i don't know what
that is.
can anyone suggest a "legal" way to disable the items in the "Open
Recent" menu?
thanx,
ken
