I also, naturally want to save their choice in a plist - I am using MacCrafters. Currently I am specifying the location e.g..... dim MainDocs As FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("MyDocs").Child("Letters") ....and ensuring that if the folder does not exist that it is created but, like I said, I want the user to choose where the "top" folder is i.e. "MyDocs". This could be in a sub folder of the documents folder - or anywhere he/she chooses.
