Question

I have the following url as a string

/Users/username/Documents/

and I need to convert it to

file:///localhost/Users/username/Documents/

So I can use it as a path argument in an NSOpenPanel. But I can’t figure out how to do it? Is there any method? I know how to go from absolute -> normal, but not the other way around.

Answer 1

You need fileURLWithPath like this:

[NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/Users/username/Documents/"];
