If you haven’t already check out the 'bookmark data' methods of NSURL: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/...

However, I’m not sure if you can use these without the user choosing the file with an open panel, or with drag and drop. That’s what I had to rely on with my app Blik: http://www.burntcaramel.com/blik/

Ghostnote looks great, by the way!

hey thanks so much for this.

Didn't work for me in Dropbox. But I'll be looking forward to the solution. The system is great so far, so I have no doubt you'll be able to continue improving it.

great thanks for the good feedback and I assure you as long as it's possible we will continue to improve this.

Although it might annoy some users, a quick work-around might be to add a tag to the file. Tags on files/folders don't go away when you move or rename the file. Something like, "ghostnote:<ID>" where ID is some internal reference to the associated note.

In fact... using this method you wouldn't have to store the URLs of files/folders at all.
