I believe an app can use -[NSDocument performSynchronousFileAccessUsingBlock:] to avoid such race conditions. At least, I assume so, since NSDocument adopts NSFilePresenter and should cope with access from multiple processes (eg: Jonathan's app and the Finder). ~Martin Wierschin _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
