NSDocument get actual save path?

I am trying to get the path that an NSDocument is being saved to at save time. I tried overriding writeToURL but that would pass me an obscure temp file URL, which was not where it was getting saved. Also asking the document like this [document fileURL] only works after it has been saved. I can get the path when it is loaded but I need some way for that initial save. Is there a way I can get the real file path when an NSDocument is saved?

Solution

  • It would really help if you told us more about why you want this.

    That said, the lowest level method with this information is -writeSafelyToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:error:
