[Mono-osx] AppStore Sandboxing

[Curtis Wensley]

Yeah, this is one of the ways to access files (others are the recently used files list, and dragging files onto the app icon).

I wasn't too clear - it's not that they don't work in a sandbox environment, they just currently do not work in MonoMac in a sandbox, since they derive from NSPanel/NSWindow, whereas in a sandboxed environment, they do not.

Theoretically you can create your own NSSavePanel/NSOpenPanel bindings that just pull in the methods that you need and are accessible via sandbox, at least until the mono team gets around to building this into the base stuff.

Hope this helps!
Curtis.
