Congratulations, your app uses the file system in a simple way, and in the way 
that was largely anticipated by the sandboxing design.

It's when you have slightly unusual requirements that things get tricky. If you 
want to retain access to a file you opened across relaunches of your app, 
sandboxing will prevent that without special steps being taken. If you want to 
use the Save dialog to save a file WITHIN your sandbox, you can't. If you need 
access to files whose paths or URLs you create programmatically (e.g. you 
select a file.foo but it has a counterpart file.bar that you also need to 
access) you can't...

These are the sorts of issues that have caused so much grief, not the simple 
ones you mention.
