Re: Mavericks CA Layer Issue
Hi Cody, Finally got the Working solution: We Subclassed CALayer and set it to Superview with WantsLayer and override masksToBounds property to return always NO. Question is: not getting why this is Mavericks specific? Is Apple fixed any issue in CALayer specific to this or it is a Bug in Mavericks?

Type your HTML in a text file, put that in your “Resources” folder, then use [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: … encoding:…] to load it, and maybe replaceOccurrencesOfString:… to fill in some placeholders? There are also some templating engines for things like this that handle things like filling in values more robustly and handle repeating sections etc. Cheers, -- Uli Kusterer “The Witnesses of TeachText are everywhere...” http://zathras.de ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Are you saying you’re putting the HTML in hardcoded string constants in the code? Don’t do that. It’s awkward and it’s hard to maintain. Save the HTML in a file, add the file to your project, then use NSBundle to locate the resource file and then load it into a string or NSData at runtime. —Jens ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: How to accept drag of a URL on the dock icon?
Thanks, Ken. I stumbled onto the solution by way of an old page about how to drag text snippets onto the dock icon in an PyObjC app. Who knows how long I'd have been scratching my head if I hadn't guessed the same approach might work for URLs. For a minute it looked like I could use the same code to handle files dragged to the dock icon from the Finder. My service did get invoked, and it was passed an NSPasteboard that was superficially similar in that it contained URLs, in this case file URLs rather than web URLs. But when I tried to iterate through the file URLs I got messages like this: 2013-12-22 14:43:32.732 DockHow[34606:303] Failed to get a sandbox extensions for itemIdentifier (1). The data for the sandbox extension was NULL I didn't feel like messing with sandbox stuff, so I implemented application:openFiles: in addition to the service. And now I don't remember if that worked, because I decided I didn't really need to accept dragged URLs after all! But still, good to know for future reference. --Andy On Dec 21, 2013, at 7:48 PM, Ken Thomases wrote: > For what it's worth, this is documented somewhat in Cocoa Scripting Guide: > How Cocoa Applications Handle Apple Events – Apple Events Sent by the Mac OS > – Open Contents. > https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_handle_AEs/SAppsHandleAEs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001239-1121328 > > Cheers, > Ken > > On Dec 21, 2013, at 5:22 PM, Andy Lee wrote: > >> To answer my own question, it looks like it's done by implementing a >> Service.

iTune Plist changes from NSUserdefaults
Hi, I am developing one MAC application to change iTunes Parental control setting programmatically. I am using NSUserdefaults class to achieve above. Please find the sample code. #define kBundleIdentifier @"com.apple.iTunes" NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSDictionary *defaultPreferences1 = [defaults persistentDomainForName: kBundleIdentifier]; [defaults synchronize]; NSMutableDictionary *mprefs = [defaultPreferences1 mutableCopy]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictExplicit"]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictMovies"]; [mprefs setValue:@"200" forKey:@"moviesLimit"]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictTVShows"]; [mprefs setValue:@"400" forKey:@"tvShowsLimit"]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictGames"]; [mprefs setValue:@"200" forKey:@"gamesLimit"]; [defaults removePersistentDomainForName:kBundleIdentifier]; [defaults synchronize]; //Adding modified Prefs [defaults setPersistentDomain:mprefs forName:kBundleIdentifier]; [defaults synchronize]; I have a daemon running as root user.But root user unable to set the iTunes preferences. When I run the above code as login user then the iTune parent control settings got changed. Please let me know what I am missing here. Why I am not able to change these settings as root user. I tried one more method also: NSString *usrPlistPath = @"/Users/madhavi/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist"; NSLog(@"Madhavi usrPlistPath is %@", usrPlistPath); NSDictionary *defaultPreferences = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:usrPlistPath]; [defaults registerDefaults:defaultPreferences]; [defaults synchronize]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictExplicit"]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictMovies"]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictTVShows"]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictGames"]; [defaults setInteger:200 forKey:@"moviesLimit"]; [defaults setInteger:400 forKey:@"tvShowsLimit"]; [defaults setInteger:200 forKey:@"gamesLimit"]; [defaults synchronize]; With the above code I am able to create Userdefaults as root user, but these values are not reflecting in plist. so that iTune preferences also not getting changed. It would be helpful to me if you provide any clue on above. How to change iTunes plist using NSUserdefaults as root user.(Because I don't want to change plist file directly) Please suggest me on this.

Question about adding NSTextView into a zoomed parent view (10.9)
Hi, guys.
I have got a problem with adding NSTextView into a zoomed parent view.
I've got the following situation:
- A custom NSView in an NSScrollView, let's denote this NSView by viewA.
- viewA is zoomed by -scaleUnitSquareToSize:
- I create an instance of NSTextView with an NSScrollView (and all the
other required classes of Cocoa text system) and add the scroll view
into viewA.
- I scroll the scroll view of viewA such that the newly added text view
is visible by -scrollRectToVisible:
- The app crashes after showing the zoomed NSTextView
Odd points so far:
- When viewA is not zoomed, then the app does not crash.
- I first add the text view into unzoomed viewA, then remove it by
-removeFromSuperview. Then zoom viewA and add the (used) textView again,
then the app does not crash, however, the text view does not have the
same magnification as viewA.
- The code worked on 10.8, but now on 10.9 it crashes as described.
If my description is too vague or not precise enough, you can also look
at the source code:
- https://github.com/qvacua/qmind/blob/issue-20/Qmind/QMMindmapView.m :
This is the (zoomable) parent view.
- https://github.com/qvacua/qmind/blob/issue-20/Qmind/QMCellEditor.m :
In this class I add/remove the text view.
To reproduce (on 10.9), you create a new mindmap, zoom in (by pinching
for example), select the root node ("New Mindmap"), then enter the
Return-key to edit the node.
I don't see what I'm doing wrong... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Tae

DockTile sample code, Principal class is "DockTile" ?
In Apple's "DockTile" sample code there is a an app and a dock tile plug-in. In the DockTilePlugIn-Info.plist, the "Principal class" is valued as "DockTile", but there is no such class-- the class in the source code is "DockTilePlugIn". Isn't that a mistake? But the thing works anyway? The name of the bundle is "DockTile.docktileplugin", so... does "Principal class" really refer to the name of the bundle? Regardless, I can change the name of the finder file and it still works. In fact, I can delete the value for "Principal class" and it still works... although I can't be sure the working version of something wasn't cached somewhere...

Re: iOS screen physical size (or px density)
In the ideal world, you would scale your content to work on an arbitrarily sized UIView and not worry about actual screen dimensions/density. From my experience, this pays off most in the long run, especially when new devices come out. This involves designing your app so it doesn't use fixed size bitmap images and working toward a design with vector drawing art, or using stretching versions of image artwork. See here for example: -[UIImage resizableImageWithCapInsets:] There was a really great session from a recent WWDC that covered appearance customization. It's the best way to learn how to design your app to use custom artwork correctly and should be required viewing for iOS developers. Unfortunately, I can't discuss this on a public forum due to Apple restrictions on "confidential information" but registered Apple developers can email me for more info. Again, your time is best spent following best practices before trying to use specifics of an output screen. That said, here are some pointers to getting the actual size of the displays that your device is being output: -[UIScreen currentMode] https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIScreen_Class/Reference/UIScreen.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIScreen/currentMode -[UIScreenMode size] -[UIScreenMode pixelAspectRatio] https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIScreenMode_class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIScreenMode/ Good luck!

When user logs in to my application in System Preferences pane, app
receives a few settings from a server which is updated to
NSMutableDictionary.
After updating the dictionary , I set the the values for the domain using
below code,
- (void) saveUserDefaults;
{
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
removePersistentDomainForName:[[NSBundle bundleForClass: [self class]]
bundleIdentifier]];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
setPersistentDomain:profileDefaults forName:[[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self
class]] bundleIdentifier]];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}
The issue of crash is not consistently reproducible as well. Please help to
understand as to when this kind of crash can occur ?
thanks,

Mavericks CA Layer Issue
Hi All With latest Mac OS 10.9, I am facing an issue with layers. The issue is sublayers(CALayer) are not allowed to expand beyond the bounds of parent layer(CALayer), which is all working fine for rest of the OS Versions. We are using the 10.5 sdks and deployment target as 10.5 for our application. The truncations mentioned in the attachment is not happening for rest all OS versions. We haven't wrote any version specific coding or not changed any thing recently. So can you please help me to find out whether is there any work around. Issue: poker cards are added as sublayer to the player seat avatar on the game table. Player seat have some transparent part and that is the limit up to which cards are getting shown and beyond that limit everything is getting truncated. Adding more transparent layer may add to our woes as there may be variable number of cards and also increasing the transparent part would make us to recalculate all layers beside the poker cards.

UISlider with custom images & narrow thumb
I'm trying to get a UISlider working with custom images. I've gone through the docs, and I know how to set the images. The question (and the problem) is a little different. Our design department has given us a thumb image that is wide at the bottom, and narrow at the top (1 pixel). When I use this image, it does not line up properly with the current value of the slider. All the examples I've seen on the net show a thumb that's fairly fat and round – never one like I've been given. The docs don't SAY you have to use a fat one, but it seems implied. So the question is: can I use a thumb like this, and if so, how do I get the positioning of the narrow top of the image (center) to align with the current value of the slider? Thanks in advance.

Re: NSArray firstObject?
Yes. This method is there since 10.6 so you can safely call it. using latest header or category on it.

It's been a private API until 10.9 and iOS 7. Clearly a documentation error.

From then on, NSView drawing code implements -drawLayer:inContext:, which breaks any use of the ‘content’ property of a CALayer whose delegate is a view. I don’t have any documentation, but the fact is it simply doesn’t work anymore in certain cases, which is an obvious sign Apple doesn’t expect you to do this. To be safe (not to mention avoid the obvious code smell of making a view a controller), use a separate object as the delegate.

Sandboxing: Can't bookmark enclosing folder of user-selected file
I'm sandboxing an app for the first time. The app has been out for a few years by now, non-sandboxed. The app receives batches of PDF files and exports them with some changes. Users can select files from NSOpenPanel or drag-and-drop. There are two options: -export files into a specific folder, or -export each file into its original folder. The first option works with no problem: users select a destination folder in NSOpenPanel, I create and then resolve the bookmark for this folder. Files are being exported there as expected. However, I'm not sure how to deal with the second option when each file should be exported to its original enclosing folder. I tried to create a bookmark for file's enclosing folder when users add the files: NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[filePath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]]; NSData *bookmarkData = [url bookmarkDataWithOptions:NSURLBookmarkCreationWithSecurityScope includingResourceValuesForKeys:nil relativeToURL:nil error:&err]; However, it results in this error: "The file “” couldn’t be opened." As far as I understand, it happens because user selects the file, which still doesn't grant the right to bookmark its enclosing folder. If I create a bookmark for file's URL, I can't use this bookmark to export the file: the bookmark doesn't grant permissions to the enclosing folder. I did some extensive research and experimented with different options with no luck. What am I missing? How can I bookmark the enclosing folder of user-selected file (if at all)? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks, Leo ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
