You still haven't addressed the question of whether you're blocking the main thread. According to your pseudocode, you are. This is very bad. The spinning beach ball cursor will appear while your app is performing its "long processing," and there will be no way for your app to receive any events from the user asking it to cancel. I look forward to the day when OS X automatically kills beachballing programs after a certain time, a la iOS. Because then maybe iTunes will finally get rewritten. --Kyle Sluder_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
