That's surprising to me, because FSRefs were created as a replacement for
FSSpecs, which do not have that property (they were a struct {volume ID, dir
ID, filename}.)
Anyway, note that a file inode ID is more fragile than an alias/bookmark,
because it won't survive the common practice of replacing an old copy of a
file with a new one (safe save) unless the code doing the replace is
careful to propagate metadata to the new file.
FSExchangeObjects and exchangedata(2) do not exchange the file ID.
The new file will have the same ID than the old one, and so, the FSRef will
point on the new file automatically.

Using Core Data ManagedObjectIDs to uniquely name files
Morning folks, I have a Snow Leopard non-document based Core Data app (currently XML based, but will be SQLite upon release). Supposing I have an entity (Employee) that would like to store an auxiliary file (a tiff of their mugshot), then as I see it I have the following options: [1] Store the tiff within the Core Data store as a binary attribute. Pros - presumably the easiest route. Cons - it would generate much Time Machine activity I would assume, as that single file will get big and be constantly updated every time anything (images or any normal attribute) gets changed, so Time Machine would basically be copying all the images each time when perhaps it didn't need to (maybe the only difference since the last backup is an Employee's name changed). Making for an unnecessarily full Time Machine backup disk / terrible app performance if the user's home directory isn't local. [2] Store each mugshot as a separate file in a known folder (eg. a subfolder of the app's Application Support folder, where the store is also hanging out), and manually keep a tally of unique filenames within the store / entity so that nothing clashes. Pros - Less unnecessary backup activity / home directory accessing etc. than the monolithic file in method [1]. Cons - My model doesn't have / need a unique ID as a modelled (by me) attribute. Seems like a lot of unnecessary housekeeping work. [3] Same as [2] but I could use the timestamp when the Employee record was created as the filename Pros - Less housekeeping Cons - can I guarantee that, at some point, some bright spark won't re- import the whole dataset on a fast machine and manage to get 2 different Employees created during the same slice of time (thus sharing the same mugshot filename attribute, and overwriting each other on the filesystem whenever either updates their pic)? [4] Basically the same as [2] but using all or part of the Employee's objectID as the filename, so that I can derive a built in unique filename and don't have to do housekeeping. If I ensure I get a permanent ID using the context's -obtainPermanentIDsForObjects:error: method, and remembering that this isn't a document based app, so it's happy assigning permanent IDs even on the first launch of the app, then I get an objectID URI looking like: x-coredata://3756AD1D-C658-409C-9EDD-E3EED0C898B1/Employee/p101 ... and successive Employee objects differ only in that they end with p102, p103 etc. If it makes any difference, during testing I'm sticking with an XML store, but for shipping it'll be an SQLite store. Also, it's only Employee objects that will need to store any files, so I'm not worried about the existence of Department/p101 objects etc. clashing. My questions are: [1] Presuming that my Employee objects all have permanent objectIDs, can I rely upon using myEmployee] objectID] URIRepresentation] lastPathComponent] as a unique filename for that object? i.e. so that I end up with p101.tiff, p102.tiff images. [2] Is an object's permanent ID truly permanent (for that saved object, in that store, on that app, on that machine), or might it get changed when an app's managed model gets modified (eg. when I start making Company entities too, or if I add a 'shoesize' attribute to an Employee) or during a future version of Core Data? [3] Are the SQLite-based objectIDs similarly easy to get to the unique bit (and similarly can I rely upon always being able to use them)? Or is there a better way of doing what I'm trying to do? The docs seem rather thin on the ground in terms of permitted (read-only) uses of the objectID, besides testing for equality, and for permanence. As I say, the app is working fine at the moment (on a development release XML store), but I just want to check if I'm making safe assumptions as it feels almost as dirty and sneaky as playing with private APIs, and I'd rather not base a shipping app on something just because it happens to work right now for me on my machine :) As ever, thanks in advance for any help you can give, Ken - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Ken Tabb Mac UNIX Developer - Health Human Sciences Machine Vision Neural Network researcher - School of Computer Science University of Hertfordshire, UK ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Using Core Data ManagedObjectIDs to uniquely name files
Hi Ken If someone created another copy of your database, I imagine the last path component could be duplicated, since it would not know about the other copy and create the same primary key. I believe that the URI is made up of the store id / entity / reference object. With a document based application, the store id changes when you do a save as, but I presume a non-document based app would remain constant. I entity related changes are identified in the metadata via a hash, and I don't think they would affect the URI, but I haven't had cause to check that. Another option for naming your files may be based on a UUID you store in your data, or perhaps something like a SHA1 hash of the file, which would also let you know if the file had changed, if that was of interest to you.

Re: Implied use of Properties
On 2 Apr 2010, at 22:21, Klaus Backert wrote:
Hi, Dave
There are some typing errors in this code, I think, but anyway,
this might be a case of lazy creation of an object inside a getter
of another object. You will find the same e.g. in Apple's code
examples about OpenGL, where the OpenGL context is an instance
variable of the OpenGL view. Accessing the context is managed by a
getter method or property, respectively, of the view, where, in the
case of the instance variable being nil, the context is created,
stored in the instance variable, and eventually returned. I call
the creation lazy, because it is done at the latest point during
execution, immediately before it is needed. For me this practice is
normal.
But, may be, I don't understand your question correctly.
Yes, there were a couple of typeo's in my example. I found the code I
in an Apple Developer Sample App and was wondering if it were
considered best practice since for me hiding the allocate in an
Accessor method doesn't do anything for readability of the code. Also
as far as I can see, there are a couple of draw-backs to doing it
this way. In the example:
-(ClassY*) mClassY
{
if (mClassY == nil)
{
mClassY = [[ClassY alloc] initWithData:someData]:
}
return mClassY;
}
The reasons I don't like this are:
1. someData is hardwired and it's impossible to pass a parameter
to mClassY since it's a getter.
2. If either the alloc or initWithData methods fail there is no way
to pass the error back to the caller except by passing nil as the
Class Selector. And if this were done in a statement like:
self.mClassY. mClassYValue = someValue;
I'm not sure what would happen but it wouldn't be good news!
Putting the allocation in an init method would solve the above
problems, In the sample application it was unclear where/if ClassY
was released, I would have thought that at the very least the
following code would have been added:
-(ClassY*) SetmClassY (ClassY* theClassY)
{
if (theClassY == nil)
[mClassy release]
mClassY = theClassY;
}
It's no biggie either way really, it's just I'm working on a new
project and it would be nice to do the right thing now, rather than
later on when I have loads more code to worry about.
All the Best
Dave

What does console message unhandled property type encoding mean?
Hi all,
In 10.5.8 (but not 10.6.x) I see the following in Console.app when
running my app:
unhandled property type encoding: `{?
=minXValuedmaxXValuedminYValuedmaxYValued}'
I have a CALayer subclass that has a property:
typedef struct
{
double minXValue;
double maxXValue;
double minYValue;
double maxYValue;
} RRXYPlotLayerValueRange;
@property (readwrite) RRXYPlotLayerValueRange cachedValueRange;
@synthesize cachedValueRange = _cachedValueRange;
This all seems to work at runtime, what's the warning about? It does
seem related to CALayer, is there something special about adding
@property to subclasses of CALayer?
This exact question has gone unanswered before:

NSPrintSavePath not working correctly?
I'm trying to set up a print dialog, so that if the user tries to save to PDF, it gets a reasonable filename. I currently have: NSPrintInfo* pi = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo]; NSMutableDictionary *dict = [pi dictionary]; [dict setObject: name forKey: NSPrintSavePath]; [dict setObject: name forKey: @NSPrintSavePath]; NSPrintOperation *op = [pdfDoc getPrintOperationForPrintInfo:pi autoRotate:YES]; [op runOperation]; the NSPrintSave field in the dictionary IS correct, but the textbox keeps coming up with .pdf.pdf any thoughts on where that's coming from?

NSImageView Will Not Alias Images
I am trying to get NSImageView to alias dropped images, but it
refuses. Just spent an hour looking and trying several variations to
no avail. Here's what I have done in a subclass of NSImageView.
-(void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
[[NSGraphicsContext currentContext]
setImageInterpolation:NSImageInterpolationHigh];
[[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] setShouldAntialias:YES];
[super drawRect:rect];
}
I have assigned the ImageView in IB my subclass and used NSLog to
verify that it is drawing through the above drawRect method of my
subclass - but the images (PNG screen captures) will not alias.
Any suggestions?

Re: Implied use of Properties
On 6 Apr 2010, at 16:19, Dave wrote:
Also as far as I can see, there are a couple of draw-backs to doing
it this way. In the example:
-(ClassY*) mClassY
{
if (mClassY == nil)
{
mClassY = [[ClassY alloc] initWithData:someData]:
}
return mClassY;
}
The reasons I don't like this are:
1. someData is hardwired and it's impossible to pass a parameter
to mClassY since it's a getter.
Yes, and in the OpenGL example a gave, there is indeed something
hardwired: the attributes of the pixel format the OpenGL context is
built upon -- which is no problem for this kind of application.
2. If either the alloc or initWithData methods fail there is no way
to pass the error back to the caller except by passing nil as the
Class Selector. And if this were done in a statement like:
self.mClassY. mClassYValue = someValue;
I'm not sure what would happen but it wouldn't be good news!
After getting the OpenGL context property, I always have an assertion
in the debug configuration (see below). And I almost never concatenate
several invocations of methods, including properties. For debugging
purposes I have a lot of assertions in between (may be, I'm a little
bit paranoid, but, well, what would you expect from a mathematician ;-).
@interface MyCustomView : NSView
{
@private
NSOpenGLContext * mContext;
}
...
@property (readonly, retain) NSOpenGLContext *myContext;
...
@end
@implementation MyCustomView
...
@dynamic myContext;
...
- (NSOpenGLContext *) myContext
{
if (mContext == nil)
{
mContext = [[NSOpenGLContext alloc] initWithFormat:
self.myPixelFormat shareContext: nil];
}
return mContext;
}
...
- (void)mySomethingOne
{
NSOpenGLContext *theContext = self. myContext;
MY_ASSERT(theContext != nil);
...
}
- (void)mySomethingTwo
{
NSOpenGLContext *theContext = self. myContext;
MY_ASSERT(theContext != nil);
...
}
@end
There is, of course, a release (and setting to nil) in dealloc, in
order to balance the retain by alloc-init.
Whatever is called first, mySomethingOne or mySomethingTwo, the
context is created at that point during the execution.
-(ClassY*) SetmClassY (ClassY* theClassY)
This should be
- (void)setmClassY: (ClassY *)theClassY

Are there any books that assume you already know Cocoa programming and just cover what's different on the iPhone OS? I don't know of any books like that, unfortunately. However, in my opinion, there are really just a couple of critical things that anybody coming from Cocoa needs to learn in order to handle Cocoa Touch well: The usage of UIViewControllers (which basically take the place of a window controllers/delegates in Cocoa), including the special view controllers in UIKit that exist only to organize other controllers into tabs and navigation trees; And the proper use of UITableView (which you'll often use to display all sorts of things, even things that don't feel tabular, just because it makes it easy to deal with arbitrary large lists of things that may need to scroll) and UITableViewCell, which is both more limited than its Cocoa equivalent in some ways (tables only have a single column, so the cell must fill the entire width) and more flexible in others (since it's a full-fledged subclass of UIView, you can easily display *anything* in there). All of these are pretty well documented by Apple.

Tricky binding and continuous update problem
I've got a problem that I had working, but my app suddenly seems broken, and I'm not sure if I did something or what. All I know is old versions of my app work, but now my code base doesn't. I've got a UI with a NSTableView at the top, and some individual fields at the bottom. Typical UI where you click on a table row and it shows you the values in the fields. Now one of the fields shown in the table is a derived value from the base fields. I have continuous update values set in the NSTextField at the bottom. So what I expect as you type in the field, the value in the table gets continuously updated also. (I'm using keyPathsForValuesAffecting etc for the derived field). But what's happening is if I type in the lower field, the value gets sent to the derived field in the table, but then Text field gets immediately set back to the original value. So the effect is you type one character and it is lost as far as the lower field is concerned, but the derived value in the table is updated. You can only ever change one character. And also the lower text field loses focus. I've put break points in all the setters and getters, and there seems like no reason for this odd behavior. I can't see how the field would get set back to the old value. If I turn off Continuously Update Value, it works sensibly, albeit not as nice since you've got to exit the field to have everything in synch.

The dropped image is roughly 1000 x 1000 (a screen shot PNG) and the imageView size is 200x200 To make sure the currentContext was correct - I log [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] imageInterpolation] for each build and it shows the correct values 3 and 1 respectively. And then just to be super sure I I log [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] isDrawingToScreen] inside drawRect of my NSImageView subclass and get YES. I did implement my own image sizing in drawRect and then used [self setImage] and it works great. Not sure what could be the issue. It would also be good to know what OS you are working on. -Ken I'm using 10.5.8. - XCode 3.1.2 - iMac Core 2 Duo and the app is GC. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Problems with repetetive execution of netstat using NSTask and NSTimer
On Apr 6, 2010, at 12:08 PM, Kazior Fukacz wrote: Thanks for your answers! By the way, are you using garbage collection? If not, then you're leaking several objects (those pointed to by 'netstat', 'pipe', and 'string'). Yeah, I suspect that the pipes (and corresponding NSFileHandles) are indeed leaking, and that's the real problem. You may also want to create and launch NSTask instances inside an exception handler, since it and NSFileHandle/NSPipe can raise some unexpected exceptions. I'm coding under Tiger using XCode 2.5. As far as I know garbage collection was introduced in XCode 3 which came with Objective-C 2.0, am I right? It was introduced with Leopard, so you are definitely leaking objects in the code you posted. Anyway, I tried putting a NSAutoreleasePool and draining it every time my method finishes its work. Randomly adding NSAutoreleasePool instances is /not/ going to help; there's no magic here... I also tried releasing the pipe manually. Still no luck. Read Ken's message again, and combine it with reading the Cocoa memory management docs: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/index.html Until you fix all of the leaks, you'll have problems. I suggesting thinking about who owns the NSPipes that you create; once you understand the memory management rules in the docs, this will make sense. However, putting assert(pipe != null) right before [netstat setStandardOutput: pipe]; ended up with (...)/IPShowX/IPShowX.m:32: failed assertion `pipe != nil'. It happened about 15 minutes after launching. This might be helpful in determining what the reason of this problem might be. As we can see it is NSPipe-related. Something about allocation, initialization and releasing? How is it that it starts to malfunction after such amount of time? Because the leak builds up over time until you run out of file descriptors, and -[NSPipe init] finally starts returning nil. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Tricky binding and continuous update problem
How does it wreak havoc with undo? Undo seems to work still. In something like TextExpander, you change the textfield where your expansion goes, and the table in the left hand side changes as you type. That's what I was aiming for. But I've found why it suddenly stopped working. I stumbled upon the URL below. Apparently the Automatically rearrange content for the NSArrayController makes this all go awry. It seems like I can choose between auto rearrange content, or continuously update values, but not both.

Re: iPhone Programming For OS X Coders?
On Apr 6, 2010, at 3:29 PM, Jens Alfke wrote: I have to confess that I haven't yet learned UIKit. The bits of iPhone development I've done so far have used networking and crypto APIs, and CoreAnimation, but hardly any of the UIKit classes. What would be the best book for me to learn from? Obviously most of the books out there don't assume you know Objective-C or Foundation or even Xcode, and will take time teaching those. I'd rather not have to buy or skim through stuff like that. Are there any books that assume you already know Cocoa programming and just cover what's different on the iPhone OS? As Bob Estes said, the Dave Mark / Jeff LeMarche books are pretty good. Apart from that, o the programming concepts of the iPhone focus on presenting single screens of content o each screen of content is represented by a single UIView that is the root of a view hierarchy o each of those single views is in turn managed by a UIViewController or one of its sub-classes o there are various schemes for navigating between screens So the architecture of a good iPhone application is determined by the screens of content and the transitions between them.The logic of those transitions will end up being implemented via a network of View Controllers. Two of the primary navigation schemes are implemented by UITabBarController and UINavigationController (usually in conjunction with a UITableViewController). You see UITabBarController in action in the iPhone World Clock application. You see UINavigationController (with UITableViewController) in the iPhone Settings application (and many others). The iPhone Weather application shows another navigational scheme known as Page Control, which uses a UIScrollView as a 'paging' mechanism, and there's a UIPageControl widget on the bottom to navigate that way if you wish to. There's no NSBezierPath parallel on the phone, so you get down into Core Graphics a lot more than with Appkit. Core Data is available. The phone does not have bindings, but does have KVC and KVO. There's a lot more, of course, but you'll find many more similarities than differences (apart from UIWindow being a sub-class of UIView . . .). I think the UIKit team did a great job in 'lowering the barriers to entry' (to speak like a marketroid).

multiple-page print support in NSView
I am trying to write an NSView subclass to render a multi-page printout. What I would like is to use the page/paper size in calculating the dimensions of each page; for example, if the printout is made up of N rows of items, each item rendering as 60-point-tall row. So, assuming 10 rows of items, the rendered view needs to be 10 * 60 pt high, and the page boundaries need to be set appropriately - if the usable paper area is 120 points high, then we need 5 pages of 2 rows, and if the user specifies much larger paper, e.g. 240 points, then we need 3 pages, each with up to 4 rows (the last page only having two rows). How do I implement knowsPageRange, rectForPage, and locationOfPrintRect to achieve this? I have tried implementing these methods to set up arbitrary rectangles for each page, and I find that the rendering I do in drawRect is scaled weirdly in the printout, with a huge (half the page) right margin and an even huger (more than half the page, proportional to the total number of pages) top margin. A possibly related issue is that the view doesn't know it's actual size (i.e. frame) until it has rendered itself, because of the number of items, and the possibility of large items that take up more than a single row. There may be an interaction between a size given to the view at init time (if it isn't given a size then it doesn't render anything in the printout) and the actual size of the complete printout. In general my problems involve the relationship between page coordinates and view coordinates - if I can relate these two sizes appropriately then I might be able to get somewhere. Is there sample code or a tutorial somewhere that explains how to set up custom page coordinates? I have read through Printing Programming Topics for Cocoa, and it seems I'm missing something critical here.
