So are you going to allow people to type paths into the field? If not,
then why not just go for a popup list of N recently-used paths, with
an item at the bottom to "Choose path…" that spawns the NSOpenPanel?

That's not what NSFormatter's good at. If you stick with the
NSComboBox approach, you'd probably want to subclass NSComboBoxCell
instead.
