Re: migrating CoreData data model doesn't work

Re: Creating temporary NSManagedObjects
On Apr 27, 2010, at 10:42 AM, vincent habchi wrote: There is a simple reason: the objects in the Managed object context get represented on a third window, whose contents are drawn from an Entity mode NSArrayController that prepares its contents automatically. If I add my temporary object to the MOC, it automatically gets fetched and displayed in that window the very moment it is inserted; that's what I wanted to avoid because it is confusing and thus undesirable. Use a separate MOC for your transient NSMO's. When you're finished, kill the MOC, without ever saving the changed (temporary, undesired) NSMO's to the PSC. Your scenario is a classic use case for multiple MOC's. NSMO's are designed to live in MOC's. Seems like a very bad idea to try to get CD to do otherwise.

Re: Object is not reachable from this managed object context
It looks to me like you are sharing one MOC between two threads (the web service update worker thread and the main thread). You need two MOC's.

Re: referencing XML Data
Working from the simple NSXMLParser example from http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=48 I suggest you use parser:didStartElement:... to look for customer and begin accumulating fields, and use parser:didEndElement:... to note completion of first_name, last_name, etc and react accordingly. In the simplest case you can just use NSLog to spit out the contents of the fields, to get yourself started. It took me less than an hour to plug in the samples and get stub methods going.

Re: User Defaults - tables and arrays
It's possible to save arrays using NSUserDefaults--technique is in the archives, but it looked pretty daunting to me with a lot of chances for me to screw things up. I chose to use a very simple CoreData model for my array instead. It might be a bit of overkill, but CoreData saved me a bunch of time on a task I didn't really want to spend time on. My datastore for this part of the preferences lives in Library/ApplicationSupport/appname. I still use NSUserDefaults for the simple stuff.

Re: Cocoa Training....
I had extremely good results from both the Cocoa Boot Camp and the OpenGL Boot Camp. In both cases I arrived with very little experience in the area and left with a couple of solid prototypes and having a good, functional, but slow command of the material--I could function on my own, find what I needed, apply it correctly. I had tried twice to get through Aaron's book on my own. Having a top developer at your elbow for a week, someone whose main focus is helping you learn, is what made the difference. In both sessions, the instructor was putting in 14 hour days, between in-class time and evenings helping students on projects. The classroom atmosphere was very supportive. There were some very sharp folks there, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of them independent developers. Both of my classes were at the Serenbe conference center outside Atlanta. In August '06 they were A+ terrific. In October '07 you could see they were having a bit of trouble coping with their success; there were a few minor cleanliness/maintenance issues, but still A- quality. The food is quite good, a modern take on traditional southern cooking, but they don't yet have a good idea of how to cook for vegetarians. My favorite part of the facility is just being able to walk around among the gardens and animals (chickens, llamas, miniature donkeys, and more), and enjoying the very dark night skies and the freedom from traffic noise. The guest rooms are huge. You should take a BNR class if you're pretty green in the area and want to get up to productivity quickly. If you're fairly comfortable with Xcode and with Cocoa constructs already, the Cocoa Boot Camp would not be a good choice. I'm personally on the fence about the Advanced Mac OS class offered later this year: I feel comfortable with about half the topics offered and have no experience with the other half. I think any of the Boot Camp level classes would be a great investment of time and money in an area where you would personally have a steep learning curve. You'll save yourself many weeks of independent study. Hal ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: fundamental question: how do I call controller methods from other classes?
Make sure you understand nil-targeted actions/File's Owner/responder chain. That idiom might or might not be useful in this case. I can picture sending various messages to nil that only the POSSocket class will respond to, and have the POSSocket instance be the delegate of your controller. How is the controller being created? Right after creation might be the time to tell it about objects it needs to know about.

Re: validateMenuItem() not always being called
-validateMenuItem: is deprecated; you should probably be using - validateUserInterfaceItem: (these are both methods, not functions as you wrote). Where to implement it depends on what functionality you're trying to control/limit. If I'm only allowing one document open for read/write at a time, then I want to implement it in one place. If I want to restrict a window's maximum zoom level and I have multiple windows, I'll implement it in a different place.

Re: Unregistering KVO observers
Maybe try [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:nil name:nil object:self] in your dealloc method?

Re: Unregistering KVO observers
Look at Malcolm Crawford's Graphics Bindings example, which contains among other things two methods on GraphicsView to start and stop observation when an object of that class is created or destroyed. http://homepage.mac.com/mmalc/CocoaExamples/controllers.html I use -removeObserver:forKeyPath: for each of the keypath notifications I have requested, and then I count on the superclass's dealloc method to take care of its own keypath notifications. You can also use -removeObserver: but that seems like a blunt instrument to me, especially since I don't know what the superclass is counting on. It would help to see your dealloc and close methods, especially if you think you're having trouble with a notification that you didn't register for.

missing (some) window names in Window menu
My NSPersistentDocument app has two kinds of windows that can be shown for a given document. A few revisions back (I just noticed it last night, though), Type2 windows stopped showing up in the Window menu. I can create them, and they respond to the Bring All To Front menu item. Type1 windows still appear. Type1 and Type2 window controllers are distinct classes with their own nibs. This was working fine once; I'm looking for ideas on what sorts of errors might be causing this change in behavior. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for?
