Hi, I would like my document based app to be able to send its files as email
attachments. I notice that the Finder has the services option to send a file as
an attachment, and kind of thought that something like that might have been
built in to the document architecture, but apparently not. It does appear to be
a standard service that is available and listed in the system preferences.
I assumed that if I wanted to try this out, I should be able to do something
like this in my NSDocument subclass:
+ (void)initialize {
[NSApp registerServicesMenuSendTypes:[NSArray
arrayWithObjects:NSFilenamesPboardType, NSFileContentsPboardType,
NSURLPboardType, NSFilesPromisePboardType, nil] returnTypes:nil];
}
- (id)validRequestorForSendType:(NSString *)sendType returnType:(NSString
*)returnType {
return nil;
}
- (BOOL)writeSelectionToPasteboard:(NSPasteboard *)pboard types:(NSArray
*)types {
return NO;
}
(assuming that the "New Email With Attachment" service would take one of the
pasteboard types I had specified). I then put breakpoints in the other two
methods, but they were never called.
I realize that there are other ways that something like this could be
accomplished, but seeing as the service is there, I wanted to try to get it
working that way.
Can anyone enlighten me on how this is supposed to be done?
Thanks
Gideon
