Re: Write Finder plugin
You can do this with Services if you are willing to have it in the services menu of the contextual menu, the user has to enable your service by going to System Preferences Keyboard Keyboard Shortcuts, you may be able to AppleScript that. If you are just writing scripts for you own use that you want to use from the Contextual Menu, do a google search for Mac Services AppleScripts. I think there is at least 1 app that lets you run scripts as services. Doing it in Cocoa is pretty straight forward.

I think there is at least 1 app that lets you run scripts as services. IIRC, if you set the flags correctly in the Info-plist, your service's item will automatically be activated. Only old-style services need to be activated explicitly. Others show up as soon as their context matches (e.g. the selected file has the UTI that your service expects as input).

Core Data Multiuser
Hello, people! I'll bring this subject to surface again. I know it pops here and there from time to time, but I've never seen anything conclusive, besides advice to steer off this idea. For a long time, I have wanted to develop a pseudo-CRM software for my small business. It will be used for simple things, like managing customer and product data, sending quotes and invoices and stuff like that. I need it to be multiuser and I am fed up with web-based software. We use only Macs. Period. From what I've read in this and other lists, and also lots of forums, Core Data wasn't meant for multiuser access and I understand it. But... I am reading Marcus Zarra's book on Core Data (Core Data - Apple’s API for Persisting Data on Mac OS X) and I have to say the book is excellent. And it got me thinking about this project again. One of the problems in using Core Data with multiple users accessing the same persistent store is concurrency. But I've seen techniques for that, such as using multiple MOCs. Marcus Zarra's book talks about it in chapter 9, about multithreading. I've seen it in Apple's documentation also. On chapter 11, the book talks about distributed Core Data, using Distributed Objects to exchange NSManagedObjects between a client app and a server app. The latter deals with the MOC and the persistent store. Zarra warns about scalability problems, since NSManagedObjectContext is not thread-safe and, the, all clients' data would be dealt with serially... But, what if I used one MOC per client? What do you guys think about it? Is it a bad idea? I've studied a lot of alternatives (BaseTen, ODBC, Web Services), but I can't wrap my head around them...

Custom NSTextAttachment
Hi, trying to build a custom subclass of NSTextAttachment I thought it would be fully supported in an NSTextView. In a test project at app launch I insert an attachment: [_textView setString:@This is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\rThis is a test string\r]; TATextAttachment *att = [[TATextAttachment alloc] init]; NSAttributedString *as = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:att]; [[_textView textStorage] appendAttributedString:as]; In the attachment I draw a custom cell. It all works so far, but when I select a text that contains that custom attachment and drag the selection to another location, only the text without the custom attachment cell icon is inserted at the new location. When dragging a text that contains a regular NSTextAttachment it gets dragged and dropped as a file icon in the new location. Why?

-[NSFileHandle readInBackgroundAndNotify] opens the file again
I'm using NSFileHandle in an ARC app on OS X Lion to read from a serial port. Everything works fine 'till I go to close the port. I open the port with POSIX calls, set up some stuff, then instantiate an NSFileHandle with the file descriptor I got from open(). Then I call -readInBackgroundAndNotify, and a second file descriptor gets opened (I see this by using lsof). That FD gets closed the moment some data comes in and a notification gets posted, but I just go right back and call -readInBackgroundAndNotify again to get the next data. The problem is when I go to close the port. I still have a pending -readInBackgroundAndNotify, and so the port is opened twice. When I call -closeFile on the NSFileHandle, it closes the FD I initially opened, but leaves the second FD open. I tried setting the NSFileHandle reference to nil so that ARC would release it, and hopefully call -dealloc on it, but either it's not doing that, or -dealloc doesn't close that second FD either. In any case, when I go to open that port again, I get an error saying the resource is busy (if I quit my app, all FDs get closed). This sure seems like a bug to me. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Binding NSTableView to NSSet
A follow up question: how do I now sort the data in the table? I am showing three values in the table, and like to sort based on either one of them. The original data is in an unordered NSSet (from my CD model). I could create an NSArray in my view controller: NSArray *myArray = [myTagsSet allObjects], and bind that to the NSArrayController, instead of to the NSSet; then I can sort the values in the table based on the array using sortDescriptors as explained here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/TableView/SortingTableViews/SortingTableViews.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/1026i-CH10-SW1. Would that be a good approach? Other alternatives? OSX, 10.7. Thanks, - Koen. On Jul 4, 2012, at 5:59 PM, Koen van der Drift wrote: Ok, I found the solution.

Re: NSTableView Sends Null Column to Delegate/DataSource
A nil tableColumn means to treat the whole row as one wide column, rather than the individual columns. It is useful for section headers. The docs for the applicable methods should explain the nil tableColumn. john Sent from my iPhone On Jul 13, 2012, at 11:21 PM, Keary Suska cocoa-...@esoteritech.com wrote: I am having a strange issue I haven't encountered before--for all of my data source and delegate methods the table view is sending nil for the table column, which obviously prevents me from fulfilling any of the requests.
