macOS Save NSView as TIFF

[Darkroom]

this isn't working right now, but i think i'm on the right path... maybe i just have something small missing from the method?

it's an IBAction method. user activates the actions, the NSView is suppose to convert into a TIFF and save itself to the desktop.

-(IBAction)saveViewToDesktop:(id)sender
	{
	[self lockFocus];
	NSBitmapImageRep *rep = [[NSBitmapImageRep alloc] initWithFocusedViewRect:[self bounds]];
	[self unlockFocus];
	NSData *data = [rep TIFFRepresentation];
	NSString *filePath = @"/Users/[I]myrealname[/I]/Desktop/";
	[data writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
	}

i wrote over my old post with this post. i had found the answer before anyone responded.

The answer being that you didn't provide a file name in the path you were saving to?
