- Ed,
-
- The big problem with doing an SFAnythingFile dialog with MacApp dialogs is
- that MultiFinder relies on standard Standard File action. In order to get your
- application to open a file once your application is already running,
- MultiFinder fakes a series of events that makes your application think the
- user is selecting the Open menu item. It then patches Standard File to return
- the name of the file that was double clicked on, without ever opening the
- dialog. If you call TWindow.Open and TDialog.PoseModally instead of SFGetFile,
- then MultiFinder will no longer work.
-
- I suppose one solution to this would be for MacApp to patch SF itself.
