So, to "lock" the document, I get the current name, change the extension, use NSFileManager to move the file from the "unlocked" name to the "locked" name, call -setFileType: to the locked type, and call -setFileURL: with the new, locked pathname converted to an NSURL. When I then save the document, I get the following:

"This document has been renamed to "newname"
It will be saved under this new name, or you can provide another name.
[Save As]    [Cancel] [Save]"

The code used to use -setFileName: instead, but that's deprecated in 10.5 (as of 10.4 actually).

Shirley there must be some way to tell the system "yes, I'm changing this file name, yes, the user is already aware of it and would appreciate you not annoying the living snot out of him by informing him of this useless detail."


Calling -setFileModificationDate: had a similar affect on my other issue (that is, nothing) but I used the other suggestion and moved the actually modification of the bundle contents to the save function, and that took care of that problem.

It's all a bit puzzling, but I notice the following in the NSDocument documentation:

initWithContentsOfURL:ofType:error:

Initializes a document located by a URL of a specified type.

This method is invoked by the NSDocumentController method makeDocumentWithContentsOfURL:ofType:error:. The default implementation of this method invokes init, readFromURL:ofType:error:, setFileURL:, setFileType:, and setFileModificationDate:.

So if you're trying to lock your document in the obvious place (a readFromURL:ofType:error: override) then your setFileURL and setFileModificationDate invocations are, according to this, going to be clobbered unless you override initWithContentsOfURL:ofType:error: too.

Is that any help?

P.S. And don't call me "Shirley".
