I'm sandboxing an app for the first time. The app has been out for a few years
by now, non-sandboxed.
The app receives batches of PDF files and exports them with some changes. Users
can select files from NSOpenPanel or drag-and-drop.
There are two options:
-export files into a specific folder, or
-export each file into its original folder.
The first option works with no problem: users select a destination folder in
NSOpenPanel, I create and then resolve the bookmark for this folder. Files are
being exported there as expected.
However, I'm not sure how to deal with the second option when each file should
be exported to its original enclosing folder.
I tried to create a bookmark for file's enclosing folder when users add the
files:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[filePath
stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]];
NSData *bookmarkData = [url
bookmarkDataWithOptions:NSURLBookmarkCreationWithSecurityScope
includingResourceValuesForKeys:nil
relativeToURL:nil
error:&err];
However, it results in this error: "The file “<enclosing folder name>” couldn’t be
opened."
As far as I understand, it happens because user selects the file, which still
doesn't grant the right to bookmark its enclosing folder.
If I create a bookmark for file's URL, I can't use this bookmark to export the
file: the bookmark doesn't grant permissions to the enclosing folder.
I did some extensive research and experimented with different options with no
luck.
What am I missing? How can I bookmark the enclosing folder of user-selected
file (if at all)?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Leo
