Hi,I want to handle two different filetypes during save in a document based application. For one of the type I need an option view in the panel to set some parameters.
I did that in a "standard" application. There it is easy: I have a save method which has the task to create and display the save panel, so it can instantiate it, add the view, read the parameters and perform the save by directly writing the file.
In my doc-based app however, I have a document and a window controller.To save I have overidden "dataRepresentationOfType" (actual work) and "saveDocumentAs" (to add the file extension, nothing more).
dataRepresentationOfType is fine for now: currently type is "TIFF". Adding "JPEG" is trivial. I need however the compression rate, somehow an additional parameter.
But where/how can I add my view to the panel and handle its parameter? Can I override a method I do not see or do i need to throw-away part of what document-based apps offer me?
