Creating a security scope bookmark for a file from one of a directory containing it

Question

I have a security scope bookmark for a directory, provided by a user via an openDialog request.

I\'m trying to create another security scope bookmark for a file insi

Answer 1

For creating bookmarks for locked files, use NSURLBookmarkCreationSecurityScopeAllowOnlyReadAccess flag combined with NSURLBookmarkCreationWithSecurityScope flag in API call for creating bookmark.

For example:

NSURL* fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSError* error = NULL;

NSData* bookmarkData = [fileURL bookmarkDataWithOptions:NSURLBookmarkCreationWithSecurityScope|NSURLBookmarkCreationSecurityScopeAllowOnlyReadAccess includingResourceValuesForKeys:nil relativeToURL:nil error:&error];

I have tried this in Mac OS 10.9.5
