Hi, I'm looking for some help troubleshooting some behavior with NSOpenPanel, where it doesn't seem to be properly validating and updating the user interface with respect to changes I'm making to allowedFileTypes. This is in a Document-based app using the 10.7 SDK, running on 10.8.3.
I've subclassed NSDocumentController as suggested in the documentation so that I can customize the open panel with my own accessory view. My accessory view contains an NSPopUpButton listing the various file types my app can open, and when a new file type is selected with the popup button my controller calls -setAllowedFileTypes: followed by -validateVisibleColumns on the NSOpenPanel, as suggested by the documentation. This works, but only partially. When the file type selection is changed, I am no longer able to select files of the previous type, and I am only able to select files of the new type -- so far, so good. However, the visual appearance of the files listed in the open panel does not change; that is, the files that are no longer valid (because they don't match the selected type) are not grayed-out/dimmed, and those that are valid remain grayed-out/dimmed. Note that I can still select the valid files even though they look disabled (grayed-out), and I cannot select the invalid files even though they look enabled (full black text). This happens in 3 of the 4 file view modes (Icon, List, and Cover Flow); in Browser view mode, the visual appearance updates as expected to match which files are actually valid and selectable. I have tried additionally implementing -[NSOpenSavePanelDelegate panel:shouldEnableURL:], but the behavior is the same. An additional bit of odd behavior is that in Icon, List, and Cover Flow view modes, if I select a valid file and then change the enabled file type, the selected file is deselected leaving no selection (and thus the Open button is disabled). However, in Browser mode the selected file is not deselected when the file type is changed and the Open button remains enabled, even though the file is no longer valid. I can click Open and my app will proceed with opening the selected file, even though it shouldn't be allowed because it doesn't match the allowedFileTypes. This seems like a bug. Any thoughts or insight on either of these two issues?
