I'm trying my hand at making a package-based document app, and I'm struggling with some things. I'm using a file wrapper, and one of the things I want to do is enable the user to edit other documents that they drag into my document - allow me to explain.
Imagine a word editing kind of app where the user drags an image into the document - in my case whenever the user drags a file that be embedded in my document, I create a new file wrapper for it. Now I want to enable the user to, say, open that image they dragged in Pixelmator or Photoshop, edit it a little, then save it with the changes immediately reflected in my document. How do I do that?
In case that matters, the actual use case has my user dragging some Collada, Blender and Lua scripting files that I want them to be able to open in preferred editor then save with changes reflected immediately in the document in my app.
Any pointers / ideas on the right way to do this? I'm familiar with C/C++ but I'm new to Mac programming so I might be missing some obvious way to do this.
