Our product features a file open dialog that at the bottom has our logo and settings for the product. New in 10.11 is an Options button in the lower-left and by default this appears to be "closed". How can we make sure this is set to "open" when we present our file chooser?

Hi wplate,

I found 'accessoryViewDisclosed' property in NSOpenPanel.h. It worked for me.

But it requires 10.11 or later.

Thanks.
