    <p>You should never, ever, hard-code paths. You should construct your paths using the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/strings/Articles/ManipulatingPaths.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000152-BBCBIGHH" rel="nofollow">various APIs</a> available to do so.</p> <p>There are several ways to construct valid paths. For instance, this works:</p> <pre><code>NSString* filePath = [[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Desktop"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"CustomerNames.plist"]; </code></pre> <p>Alternatively, you could use:</p> <pre><code>NSString* filePath = [@"~/Desktop/CustomerNames.plist" stringByExpandingTildeInPath]; </code></pre> <p>Although these are correct ways to build a path, to access special locations such as the Desktop, the Documents folder or the Application Support folder, you should use the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/reference/foundation/miscellaneous/foundation_functions/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000055-SW5" rel="nofollow"><code>NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains()</code></a> function or, preferably, the <code>NSFileManager</code> methods <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/nsfilemanager_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000305-SW102" rel="nofollow"><code>URLsForDirectory:inDomains:</code></a> or <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/nsfilemanager_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000305-SW101" rel="nofollow"><code>URLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error:</code></a>.</p> <p>These URL-based method should always be preferred over their path-based equivalents. Apple recommends all developers move to support the URL-based methods as soon as practicable.</p> <p>This is primarily because file URLs can store bookmark data, so that if a file moves the URL can still be resolved, which is not the case with paths as paths are just strings and can't store metadata.</p> <p>Here's how you'd use the file manager to find your URL:</p> <pre><code>NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSURL* desktopURL = [fm URLForDirectory:NSDesktopDirectory inDomain:NSUserDomainMask appropriateForURL:nil shouldCreate:NO error:nil]; NSURL* fileURL = [desktopURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"CustomerNames.plist"]; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
