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

Following up after reporting the problem with security-scoped bookmarks and locked-files, this is the reply from Apple:

"Also, as you've noticed, creating a security-scoped bookmark requires write access to the target file. That should no longer be the case in OS X Mavericks."

Which would indicate that it is a bug in version of OS X pre-10.9.
