In our NSOpenSavePanelDelegate we respond to panel:shouldEnableURL: by checking the file dialog's filter options. As part of this, we pulled out the file's attributes using [NSFileManager attributesOfItemAtPath:], but this API triggers the TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) machinery to ask the user for permission to access the path in question. We could replace the directory check with fileExistsAtPath:isDirectory:, but this would still leave the checks for writable/readable/executable. Luckily for us, the plumbing for QFileInfo uses lower level CoreFoundation APIs that don't have these issues (except for isBundle, which we should fix separately). This also means we can remove the custom isHiddenFileAtURL helper, as it was based on the same kCFURLIsHiddenKey as the QFileInfo plumbing.
