To summarise what was discussed, - I think the folder hierarchy problem is easily solvable as I always traverse from top of the tree. If an entry for one of the folders is found in my set I stop the traversal to lower leaves of the tree. - I would be using NSSet to store my “restrict list”. However I will be using file names instead of resource identifier object because I need to preserve this across reboots. However I could always extract the resource identifier object for these NSURL objects and do the comparison. There is always a possibility that one of the files stored in “restricted list” could be removed or changed automatically by user or program. If this happens, I am holding a useless value that is no longer present in file system. This is not a big issue as I see other than wasteful entry in the set. Upon application restart when reading from the file which stored the restricted list, I could do a file existence check for all entries in the restricted set. - I will be converting the NSSet to NSArray and save it in file. I read the array as NSSet when the application starts.
Is there something else I am missing? Regards, Varun On 16/04/2014 4:17 am, "Gary L.
