That code works in either 32-bit or 64-bit under 10.6, but it seems to be
throwing an exception or something on 10.5(.8), because when I execute it, no
dialog appears and I can continue along with other work in my plug-in, as if
nothing had happened. (This is all executed from a button press in a sheet.)
I need to be able to set the default directory in whatever OS I'm in, whether
it's 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7. Will option B above allow that? (I'm not sure what
that actually means... I'll have to look up categories, I guess. But any hint
would be appreciated.)
