And I'm not the only one who is using a custom solution. Check out popular toolkits like SDL, GLFW, wxWidgets... they all do it one or another. And even Apple says that it's legit: "Override run if you want the app to manage the main event loop differently than it does by default. (This a critical and complex task, however, that you should only attempt with good reason.)" I just wish there'd be some more information on how exactly this "critical and complex task" should be implemented in practice ;) -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
