In some normal use cases, files don't even keep the same name when saved. For example, saving a rich text document in TextEdit produces an .rtf file, but if you add pictures and re-save it deletes the .rtf file and saves a .rtfd document package instead. So the same document doesn't even keep the same on-disk name after save. OmniGraffle has the same behavior if the "Compress on disk" checkbox on the Document tab of the Document inspector is unchecked, but it uses .graffle for both flat files and document packages. So saving your document might convert its on-disk representation from a file to a directory. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
