Hi,
I have FTP - written quite a while ago.
Easy access here:
https://github.com/gnustep/gap/tree/master/user-apps/FTP
The implementation - hopefully correct - is the following: the download
happens in a separate thread inside ftpclient.m which communicates back
the progress (advancement of the file being transferred).
The "progress" is shown with a ProgressBar and some text fields, quite
simple.
On Mac, everything works like a charme! The progress bar is smooth and I
see the bytes and transfer speed!
On GNUstep not: it is set at the beginning, then no updates until the end.
The critical method is:
- (oneway void)setTransferProgress:(NSNumber *)bytesTransferred
I added "oneway" yesterday - with no change in functionality if not a
quite good gain of speed on Mac: the worker thread doesn't block while
actually "updating" the GUI.
why do I have this issues on GNUstep? Any special care or tricks?
Maybe I need to set the certain views to display or needs display on GS?
I already have this old trick:
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] runUntilDate:[NSDate distantPast]];
It shouldn't be needed with two threads I think.. and with or without no
effect.
Riccardo
