This *little* problem has been driving me nuts for way too many hours now. I need to prompt the user for a file location. I was hoping something along the lines of the generic OS X save/open dialogue box.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how i could get something like that working?

Read the NSOpenPanel docs. It's very straightforward.

Depends which framework you are using: NSOpenDialog is for Cocoa, for Carbon you'll need to use something else, navigation services I believe, but I think that's old stuff.

Nav Services the appropriate API for Carbon, but this thread is in the Cocoa forum
