Quicksand boxed – a tale of woe.
Hi Cocoa-dev People,
I have a sandboxing question, below. I'm wondering if it's even possible to do
what I tried to do, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Joel Norvell
I'm trying to iterate directories in a sandboxed app in order to find a file
with a specific extension.
I believe I have all the entitlements that are available that might help:
App Sandbox
com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write
com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write
com.apple.security.print
com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write
com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-write
I need to be able to find a file, by name, that could either be on the Desktop
or in the (real) Documents folder. I don't even get close. I get a
filecoordinationd when I try to iterate either of them (code below). I am able
to find a file, by name, in the Downloads folder, though.
Has anyone been able to do this with the Desktop folder or the (real) Documents
folder? (When I used NSDocumentDirectory it looked in the Documents folder
attached to my container. I could find things that were in that. But it wasn't
the same as the Documents folder that the user sees.)
If I turn off Sandboxing I have no problem iterating Desktop or Documents.
This is the code I used to test iterating in three NSSearchPathDirectories:
NSDocumentDirectory, NSDesktopDirectory, and NSDownloadsDirectory.
NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager new];
NSError* err = nil;
NSURL* rootDirURL =
[fm URLForDirectory:NSDesktopDirectory
inDomain:NSUserDomainMask appropriateForURL:nil
create:NO error:];
// error-checking omitted
NSURL * theFormsFolderURL = [self formsFolderURL:rootDirURL];
- (NSURL *) formsFolderURL:(NSURL *)rootDirURL
{
NSFileManager * fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSDirectoryEnumerator* dir = [fm enumeratorAtURL:rootDirURL
includingPropertiesForKeys:nil
options:0 errorHandler:nil];
for (NSURL* f in dir)
{
if ([[f pathExtension] isEqualToString:@"pdq"])
{
NSLog(@"%@", [f lastPathComponent]);
}
}
return nil; // Dummy nil
}
BTW, this was the value that gave me a filecoordinationd for Desktop:
rootDirURL NSURL *
@"file:///Users/joely/Library/Containers/biz.pdqforms.pdqforms/Data/Desktop/"

Zooming Breaks Focus-ring Architecture (10.13.1)
Dear Cocoa-dev People,
The main view of my app can be zoomed by the user. It contains
NSTextView subviews. The NSTextView focus-rings are well-drawn when the
main view is not zoomed. But when it is zoomed, focus rings are not
drawn properly. They are drawn the same size, no matter what the zoom
factor. And they drift downward as zoom is increased. Note that the text
fields themselves are zoomed properly and all mouse clicks are
interpreted correctly in zoomed views; just the focus-rings are wrong.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to get zoomed focus rings
to work using the Cocoa focus ring APIs?
Thanks,
Joel Norvell
This describes my zoom-architecture:
// "self" is an NSImageView subclass containing NSTextViews as subviews.
- (void) doZoom:(float)scale
{
float width = [[self bounds].width;
float height = [[self bounds].height;
NSRect zoomedRect = NSMakeRect(0, 0, width*scale,
height*scale*pages);
NSRect boundsRect = NSMakeRect(0, 0, width, height*pages);
// Make view corners have integral values.
zoomedRect = [self roundedRect:zoomedRect];
[self setFrame:zoomedRect];
[self setBounds:boundsRect];
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[self scrollToTop];
}
// "self" is an NSTextField nested in the NSImageView subclass.
// Part of initialization pertinent to focus-rings
// N.B. My NSTextField subclass doesn't use or explicitly do anything to
opt-into Core Animation layers.
- (void) initTextField;
{
[self setFocusRingType:NSFocusRingTypeExterior];
[self setDrawsBackground:NO];
[[self cell] setRefusesFirstResponder:NO]; // accept 1st responder.
[[self cell] setShowsFirstResponder: YES];
}
If I use Apple's focus-ring APIs, the focus-ring is drawn as if the
text-view has not been zoomed. And it is shifted downward from it's
correct location.
- (void)drawFocusRingMask
{
// Set the focus ring mask to the zoomed bounds.
NSRectFill([self focusRingMaskBounds]);
}
- (NSRect)focusRingMaskBounds
{
return [self bounds];
}

Re: selectText of NSTextField on focus
Hi Richard, When the instance of your NSTextField subclass becomes first responder, you have access to the NSText object (the field editor) and I believe you can use its methods to select the text. (I don't see why you can't, but since I haven't tried it myself, I'm saying I believe.) Sincerely,Joel Override - (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder in your subclass.

Re: Transparent NSTextField
Hi Vincent,
Have you tried setDrawsBackground:NO on your NSTextField?
Below was what I used.
I don't know if any of the other instance variables I set are important for
your case but they might be.
HTH,
Joel
- (void) initTextField;
{
[self setBordered:NO];
[self setFocusRingType:NSFocusRingTypeNone];
[self setBezelStyle:NSTextFieldSquareBezel];
[self setBezeled:NO];
[self setEnabled:YES];
[self setSelectable:YES];
[self setEditable:YES];
[self setAlignment:NSNaturalTextAlignment];
[self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
[self setDrawsBackground:NO];
}
This was the original message:
Hi everybody,
I’m trying to add a transparent editable NSTextField to a view. As long as the
field is not editable (e.g. a label), everything is fine; but with an editable
field, I get a background fill. I imagine this is under the window NSTextView
responsibility. Has someone already succeeded in programming a totally
transparent NSTextField, or shall I recourse to a CATextLayer instead?
Thanks,
Vincent

Re: Unexpected PDFKit behavior in -[PDFPage string]
Dear Cocoa-dev People, I'd queried the list about PDFKit selection behavior: NSString * currentPageData = [currentPage string]; behaves quite differently on a Snow Leopard build than it did under Leopard. A partial description of the issue is that the order of table data is not correctly preserved under Snow Leopard. Someone answered my question off-list, saying: I haven't looked at this lately, but in Snow Leopard PDFKit gained some smarts to recognise columnar layouts and base its text extraction on that. Possibly this causes tables to be selected by column rather than by row, as they would have been before. I believe this is correct. Unfortunately, due to the layout of the file I was inspecting, the new behavior wasn't useful to me. (My file was so bad that it wasn't obvious what the selection behavior was–but it's selections did have columnar tendencies.) If anyone on the PDFKit team is listening, I think it would be kind to allow row-by-row selection behavior to be effected within an app if so doing didn't complicate the PDFKit codebase!

Re: How to change focus ring color?
Alexander,
If you're drawing the focus ring yourself, you can change its color by setting
it in the NSGraphicsContext that's active while it's being drawn.
I draw NSView/NSControl focus rings by hand in one of my apps. I've posted the
code that does this, below. I'm not changing the color of the focus ring, but
easily could by setting some color other than keyboardFocusIndicatorColor.
My approach is fairly heavy-handed. I'm not suggesting that you adopt it, just
that it's possible.
You didn't say what objects you are drawing, so I should add this caveat: I'm
not sure what variations, if any, would be induced by generalizing my approach
to NSCell objects.
Sincerely,
Joel

Re: How to create programaticlly
Hi Agha, I guess you've overridden your NSViewController's loadView method, which seems like a good place to roll your own button. You'll need to create and initialize the button with something like this: NSButton *newButton = [[[NSButton alloc] initWithFrame:nestedFrame] autorelease]; And then you have to diddle with the button's instance variables. These might include – but are not limited to – things like: [newButton setButtonType:NSSwitchButton]; [[newButton cell] setEnabled:YES]; [newButton setTransparent:NO]; [newButton setBordered:NO]; [newButton setBezelStyle:NSShadowlessSquareBezelStyle]; [newButton setTitle:@]; There are enough permutations of these that you'll probably have to experiment some to determine which properties (instance method settings) are pertinent to your case. (I've found that AppKido most useful for this.) If you want to hook the button into the responder chain, you'll need to do something like this: [[newButton cell] setRefusesFirstResponder:NO]; // accept first responder. [[newButton cell] setShowsFirstResponder:YES]; // show first responder. And you'll need an action method, that IB would have let you connect graphically, but you'll set up like this: [self setAction:@selector(buttonClicked:)]; If you're subclassing NSButton, the recipe is slightly more complicated. But you're doing the same stuff, in the context of an NSButton subclass.

Re: How to create programaticlly
Hi Agha, In my previous note, I forgot to mention that the button will have to be explicitly connected to its window's view hierarchy, unless your view controller does this for you.

Re: Confused about NSPrintInfo margins
Graham,
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were talking about, but I did a test
in the printShowingPrintPanel of a program I'd written.
The NSPrintInfo methods setLeftMargin, setBottomMargin, setRightMargin and
setTopMargin all affect the margin values within the NSPrintInfo instance.
Here's the test code with the before and after values I saw.
- (void)printShowingPrintPanel:(BOOL)flag
{
NSPrintInfo *printInfo = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo];
float testLeft = [printInfo leftMargin];
float testBottom = [printInfo bottomMargin];
float testRight = [printInfo rightMargin];
float testTop= [printInfo topMargin];
// L, T, R, B IS NOW 72, 90, 72, 90
[printInfo setLeftMargin: 0];
[printInfo setBottomMargin: 0];
[printInfo setRightMargin: 0];
[printInfo setTopMargin:0];
testLeft = [printInfo leftMargin];
testBottom = [printInfo bottomMargin];
testRight = [printInfo rightMargin];
testTop= [printInfo topMargin];
// L, T, R, B IS NOW 0, 0, 0, 0
...
}
This was done using Xcode 3.1.3.

Re: Paginated PDF from NSView saved in memory
Dragan, This doesn't answer your questions, but it might be a useful hint pointing you toward a solution. I think the key method you want to use is [NSView dataWithPDFInsideRect] It's discussed in the Generating EPS and PDF Data section of Apple's printing doc. A print operation does not have to send its results to a printer. You can have the operation generate raw PDF or EPS data and write the data either to an NSMutableData object you provide or to a file at a path you specify. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Printing/Printing.pdf HTH, Joel ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Tabbing PDF Annotation Editor between annotations in edit mode?
Dear Cocoa-dev People, I've been tangling with this question most of the morning and was hoping for some guidance on how to proceed. I want to modify the PDF Annotation Editor so that it will tab from annotation-to-annotation in edit mode, just like it does in test mode. What is the key to accomplishing this? Is there something simple I've overlooked? I'm thinking that I'll need to build something like a keyView chain (responder chain), procedurally, on a per-annotation basis. And since PDFAnnotation isn't an NSView subclass, I'll have to create a mechanism that hears tab events and then updates the current annotation by hand. Since this approach is a bit complicated, I wanted to ask the group for confirmation first, lest I proceed down a rabbit hole.

Re: Problem with NSData to NSString to NSData
Dear Cocoa-dev People, I wanted to thank everyone for their helpful replies to my question: How to save metadata for a PDF file? Graham, thank you for confirming and clarifying the Cocoa way. Your caveat (problem with other pdf readers) was also well taken! Ricky, thank you for your trenchant analysis and commentary. The reification of your suggested approach, by mentioning the TextEdit example, was way helpful! Michael, you've identified additional (and compelling) approaches that I'd have never quantified on my own! They bear looking into; part of my continuing Cocoa education :-) Dave, you know a lot about the PDF format! Thanks for quantifing a PDF compatible way to append metadata to a PDF! Jeff, you also know a lot about the PDF format! Thanks for clarifying another PDF compatible way to append metadata to a PDF! Marcel, thanks for your reply! My conclusion is that The Cocoa Way would be to use NSFileWrappers. (Not to deprecate the suggested PDF approaches – there's nothing wrong with them.) I've looked at using NSFileWrappers, but still have some questions. My plan is to take them to NSCoder Night (in Campbell) and flesh out the recipe, part of my ongoing Cocoa education :-) As an aside, I want to strongly recommend Eric Buck's Cocoa Design Patterns which led me toward the NSFileWrapper approach in the first place!

Re: Problem with NSData to NSString to NSData
Dear Cocoa-dev People,
First, I wanted to thank Aki Inoue and Rob Keniger for pointing out the problem
with my NSData-NSString-NSData approach.
As an alternative, would it be fruitful to use a Directory Wrapper to represent
the data as two files; one the metadata and the other the pdf? Then I could
work with the metadata file, but just display the pdf file.
In the What could go wrong here? department, would my compound file end up
behaving like a directory (or worse)?
Many thanks,
Joel Norvell

Saving/restoring PDFAnnotationTextWidget stringValues with PDFKit 10.5
If you use PDFKit 10.5 to save and then restore a pdf file, are PDFAnnotationTextWidget stringValues preserved? (These are the text fields that you enter in PDF forms.) They aren't being saved/restored in my program. This is the line that creates the pdfData which is written to my file: NSData * pdfData = [[_pdfView document] dataRepresentation]; The PDFKit documentation doesn't seem to answer this question (or else I missed it). I looked through the Cocoa-dev archives and saw one post Re: Editable PDFAnnotation that made me think they should be saved/restored under 10.5. But I've noticed that Preview 4.1 doesn't save that data, so now I'm confused. I'm using a June 2007 MacBook Pro with 10.5.2 and Xcode 3.0 and my Additional SDKs and Base SDK Path are both blank which I believe is supposed to resolve to the most current (10.5) SDK.
