UIImagePickerController is permanently blowing away the phone's own status bar.
At least for the duration of the app. I'm presenting a UI that's as close as I can come to the built-in camera app's: A controller brings up UIImagePickerController in camera mode, with an overlay at the bottom that has a library button on it. If the user presses the Library button, the overlay brings up another UIImagePickerController in library mode. This appears to be what the phone's own app does. It all works fine, except that the image-picker overwrites the status bar (the signal-strength meters and other status icons at the top of the screen), as seen here: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5362665729_65bbcd2834_b_d.jpg and they don't return when the pickers are dismissed. I've verified that all modally presented controllers up to this point are dismissed. It looks like it might be related to the fact that the first picker has already overwritten the status bar at the top, so it's not present for the second one. If you invoke the library-mode picker directly and dismiss it, the status bar returns. Has anyone seen this before and know a workaround? Seems kinda buggy. Thanks!

Re: Get iphoto scripting bridge handle without starting iphoto?
My question is: can I get a scripting bridge handle on iPhoto without making iPhoto launch? Scripting Bridge is about sending Apple events to an application. That application must be running or you can't send it Apple events. That is Thanks a lot for these insights. (Thanks also to all the others who answered similarly.) So it seems like I either have to use ScriptingBridge (i.e., have iPhoto fire up) or use an unofficial API. I was just wondering who Mail.app does it with its photo browser ... BTW: I am wondering about another thing. Right now I get the iPhoto handle like this: iPhoto_ = [[SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@com.apple.iPhoto] retain]; (which starts iPhoto), I also instantiate an object for the iphoto albums like this albums_ = [[[iPhoto_ albums] get] retain]; then the user probably plays around a little bit with my app. But what happens, if the user closes iPhoto (while my app is still running) and then continues to play with my app, which then continues to access the iPhoto_ and the albums_ objects??

How to correctly load the bundle of a screen saver (was: How to change the product name with command line builds?)
On Jan 16, 2011, at 7:59 AM, Ken Thomases wrote:
I've got an Xcode project that compiles and works fine.
The short question now is: what is the proper way to change the bundle's
name from the command line?
Assuming your project is set up like normal (e.g. with Info.plist values
based on build settings), it may be as simple as:
xcodebuild -target Foo -configuration Release build PRODUCT_NAME=Foo2
Thanks a lot for your response. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be quite as
simple as that.
The executable I am working on is a screen saver.
My Info.plist looks like this:
keyCFBundleName/key
string${PRODUCT_NAME}/string
keyCFBundleExecutable/key
string${EXECUTABLE_NAME}/string
keyCFBundleIdentifier/key
stringde.zach.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}/string
In the final packages, the variables are correctly replaced by the correct
executable names, i.e., Foo and Foo2.
However, when I run the screen savers (in System Preferences), the name of my
screen saver, i.e., the value of CFBundleName is the same, whichever screen
saver I use. It happens to be the one of the screen saver that got started
first in SystemPreferences.
And since I base the name of the preferences file on the bundle name, both
screensavers Foo and Foo2 use the same preferences file.
Here is how I load the bundle and determine the name of the screen saver
running:
NSBundle * bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
exec_name_ = [[bundle infoDictionary] objectForKey:@CFBundleName];
I tried
NSBundle * bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
but that loads the bundle of SystemPreferences!
I was considering to use [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier: @de.zach.Foo] but I
can't hard-code the identifier, since I don't know which screensaver it will be.
Is there something like preprocessor macro expansion in Obj-C? Something like
@de.zach. ## PRODUCT_NAME
(that is C++ syntax, where PRODUCT_NAME is a preprocessor token, which can be
set on the command line of gcc).
Does anyone know how to do this properly?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Some further musings on this subject: Yes, in one sense the actual value should be irrelevant, but in fact when NSNotFound is a possible value of a scalar that's truly numeric (such as a count or an index) you really *do* need to know what NSNotFound is. For example, you have to be careful not to increment a numeric quantity into NSNotFound. In this kind of situation (e.g. the documentation says returns a NSUInteger value representing the index of the matching item, or NSNotFound if no match is found) the usable value range is really 0 .. NSNotFound-1. That imposes a practical limit on the number of items, which the developer needs to know. In a slightly larger, conceptual sense, this means that unless you want to obsess over the specifics of *every* frameworks parameter *every* time you use one, the *practical*, everyday-use range of NSUInteger is 0 .. NSIntegerMax, not 0 .. NSUIntegerMax. In 32-bit, that's a 2 Gig item limit, not 4 Gigs.

I think that System Preferences, since it's loading plug-ins, requires that
your classes have unique names. Otherwise, when it loads the plug-ins, the
names conflict in the Objective-C runtime.
The CFBundleName is not really the same. It's just that the second screen
saver loaded isn't really loaded. It's finding the classes of the first one.
Here is how I load the bundle and determine the name of the screen saver
running:
NSBundle * bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
Yeah, again, you would need to unique-ify the class names for this to work.
exec_name_ = [[bundle infoDictionary] objectForKey:@CFBundleName];
I tried
NSBundle * bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];

Does anyone know how to do this properly?
You can configure the Preprocessor Macro Definitions build setting and base
some of its values on other build settings. That can effectively import
build settings into the source. By the way, the correct C syntax would be:
@de.zach. #PRODUCT_NAME
That is, you don't want token pasting, you want stringifying (and rely on the
fact that C concatenates adjacent string literals). You _would_ want token
pasting if you were to incorporate a macro into a class name.

Re: How to correctly load the bundle of a screen saver
I think that System Preferences, since it's loading plug-ins, requires that
your classes have unique names. Otherwise, when it loads the plug-ins, the
names conflict in the Objective-C runtime.
Thanks a lot!
I have found this error message in the syslog:
Class ArtSaverView is implemented in both /Users/zach/Library/Screen
Savers/Foo.saver/Contents/MacOS/Foo and /Users/zach/Library/Screen
Savers/Foo2.saver/Contents/MacOS/Foo2. One of the two will be used. Which one
is undefined.
That explains a lot.
I have changed my code -- the good news is that most of the time, it works now;
the bad news is that occasionally it does not work!
In the header file, I declare my class like this:
#ifdef SECOND_FOOSAVER_VIEW
#define FOOVIEW FooSaver2View
#else
#define FOOVIEW FooSaverView
#endif
@interface FOOVIEW : ScreenSaverView
{ ...
where SECOND_FOOSAVER_VIEW is declared in
Similarly, I refer only to FOOVIEW in FooView.m
In the initWithFrame method of FOOVIEW, I retrieve the bundle and plug-in name
like so:
NSBundle * bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
exec_name_ = [[bundle infoDictionary] objectForKey:@CFBundleName];
NSLog(@execname = %@\n, exec_name_ );
Now, everything works fine *most of the time*: I can run SystemPreferences,
there is no more error message in syslog, I can select the different screen
savers, set different preferences, the screen savers store them in the correct
files, etc.
BUT occasionally, when I run SystemPreferences, both screen savers exhibit the
same behavior, i.e., they loaded the same preferences! This is also reflected
in the syslog, where both screen savers logged the same execname!
How can that happen?
Puzzled,
Gabriel.

proper use of Core Data
I want to run this by you guys that do Core Data so I can see if my understanding for wanting to use it is valid. I have a file which I load into my application that contains columns of numbers separated by whitespace (each column is usually marked with titles like inputs, outputs, etc…). This is how the user imports data into my application. So I read in my ascii file, parse it, then I can somehow store this data in Core Data and use the data model as the model for my MVC's? Does that sound about right? I was also hoping this would simplify getting data into my views over the current way I do things. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Start with your model - what is it? How that model starts off in terms of a list of numbers in a file is a trivial implementation detail. --Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: NSNotFound
On Jan 17, 2011, at 11:50 AM, Quincey Morris wrote: Yes, in one sense the actual value should be irrelevant, but in fact when NSNotFound is a possible value of a scalar that's truly numeric (such as a count or an index) you really *do* need to know what NSNotFound is. For example, you have to be careful not to increment a numeric quantity into NSNotFound. In this kind of situation (e.g. the documentation says returns a NSUInteger value representing the index of the matching item, or NSNotFound if no match is found) the usable value range is really 0 .. NSNotFound-1. That imposes a practical limit on the number of items, which the developer needs to know. In a slightly larger, conceptual sense, this means that unless you want to obsess over the specifics of *every* frameworks parameter *every* time you use one, the *practical*, everyday-use range of NSUInteger is 0 .. NSIntegerMax, not 0 .. NSUIntegerMax. In 32-bit, that's a 2 Gig item limit, not 4 Gigs. I have been implementing some code which interoperates with a NSArrayController subclass. Cognizance of the numeric value of the indexing boundary conditions was a coding requirement. I was almost on the right path but got confused with 32-bit/64-bit and NSInteger/ NSUInteger. Thanks for stating this with such clarity. --Richard Somers ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: How to change the product name with command line builds?
On 14.01.2011, at 14:55, Gabriel Zachmann wrote: A little bit of background information might be in order. I am writing a screensaver. Now some users would like to run two different instances (i.e., executables) of it concurrently, because they've got two monitors, and, in addition, they want to set different preferences for each instance. So, my idea was to just compile the program twice, once under the name Foo and once under the name Foo2. The Screen Saver Engine will create two instances of your NSView, one for each screen (except when clicking Test in System Preferences). Why not just change your code to allow specifying different settings for each screen? You can find out what screens are available by enumerating over the NSScreens and, when loading a preference, appending the screen's number to each preference key. Or even just to the domain and explicitly specifying the domain whenever you load a preference. When a view is created, you can ask its window for its screen in -viewWillMoveToWindow: and load your preferences appropriately. I think in the long run, this will not only be the faster approach, it will also be much more elegant. You can provide a decent UI to your users (maybe with a popup menu to select what screen to configure for).

Which is good to know if you want to use NSNotFound in your own classes, but largely irrelevant if it is an index into a collection of objects, like NSArray. Because in that case, just storing the pointers to these items in an array (which takes 4 bytes in 32-bit, 8 in 64-bit) already restricts the number of items to a value below NSIntegerMax. After all, you'd already run out of address space around NSIntegerMax / 2 (NSUIntegerMax / sizeof(id), i.e. NSUIntegerMax / 4). And since you need memory for system libraries, and for the NSArray and stored object(s) itself (it could be an array containing the same object over and over, though), plus a stack and general memory management overhead, you'll lose a few bytes more. Considering Apple's frameworks change size with each system release, I don't think there is a way to reliably calculate an upper limit. If your application is likely to even vaguely get near the ballpark of NSIntegerMax / 2, you should probably look into implementing a virtual memory-like mechanism that swaps in/out objects from disk as needed. -- Uli Kusterer Sole Janitor http://www.the-void-software.com ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Anybody have problems with plist settings not getting into or being honored by phone app?
Hi all. I added a couple of settings to my iOS project's plist: app does not run in background and icon already has gloss effects. I noticed that they weren't being honored in the device builds, although they appeared to be honored in the simulator builds. First I found that Xcode created the simulator device targets to point to different plists: the original, and the -copy version. This explained why the two additional settings were missing from the plist in the device build. I deleted the copy and changed the device target to point to the same plist as the simulator target. Now the settings are being copied into the device-build plist, but they aren't being honored. Anybody have any idea as to why? I deleted the application from the phone before testing, by the way.
