NSOpenPanel - Everything deprecated?

Question

I\'ve been trying to get a window to show up asking the person to choose a file, and I eventually did. The problem is, Xcode complains that the method I\'m using is deprecated.

Answer 1

Seeing how I found this question useful six years later, and since there are no swift answers, here's a swift solution.

You'll find two samples, one as a stand alone window and the other as a sheet.

Swift 3.0

func selectIcon() {
    // create panel
    let panel = NSOpenPanel()

    // configure as desired
    panel.canChooseFiles = true
    panel.canChooseDirectories = false
    panel.allowsMultipleSelection = false
    panel.allowedFileTypes = ["png"]

    // *** ONLY USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS, NOT BOTH ***

    // ********************** OPTION 1 ***********************
    // use this if you want a selection window to display that is
    // displayed as a separate stand alone window
    panel.begin { [weak self] (result) in
        guard result == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton, panel.urls.isEmpty == false, let url = panel.urls.first else {
            return
        }

        let image = NSImage.init(contentsOf: url)
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self?.iconImageView.image = image
        }
    }

    // ********************** OPTION 2 ***********************        
    // use this if you want a sheet style view that displays sliding
    // down from your apps window
    panel.beginSheetModal(for: self.view.window!) { [weak self] (result) in
        guard result == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton, panel.urls.isEmpty == false, let url = panel.urls.first else {
            return
        }

        let image = NSImage.init(contentsOf: url)
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self?.iconImageView.image = image
        }
    }
}
