adding arc to a fundamentally non-arc project
Trying to move from QTKit to AVKit. Compiling on El Capitan (at the moment). So I have a handler that is arc and handles all the AVKit stuff and compiled with the -fobjc-arc flag in the build phases... I create and assign the handler to a document object using the myhandler = [[MWArcHandler alloc] init]; but the linker constantly complains that it can't find MWArcHandler: it's there in the build phases; and it is in the target, but I can't convince the linker that it is there. Any suggestions? PS very new to ARC programming. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Document-scoped security conundrum (and bug)...
Dear cocoa-devs, I'm trying to adapt my app to app and document scoped security bookmarks. I think I'm running into a catch 22. since my documents reference pdfs dropped on my window, it makes sense to use document scoped bookmarks, but since the user may not have saved the document, I can't make the bookmark since i need an absolute path (actually the documentation is wrong, it's absouteURl) to seal the deal. Am I missing something? Must I force the user to save before continuing. In the end, it just seems that all this security is getting in the way of useability. --Matthew Weinstein ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Lion permission problems
Dear cocoa-dev, So I'm wondering how in the maze of sandboxed apps how to get my app to work properly. What it does is wrap around pdf files so that they can be combined, separated; etc. It doesn't actually change the original pdfs, just remembers their locations, reads them in and then writes to a different pdf (as the user requests). In addition it opens a specific wrapper on launch which contains standard elements that a user might want to add to their pdf (blank pages, etc.). The file is just a typical file that the program creates, stored at a location provided by the user, so that they can add their own elements to this wrapper. The first time the program is run, it doesn't find this special wrapper, asks the user where they want it it, they pick a spot (home or documents), the program creates a directory, copies the needed files out of its bundle, it opens the file, and all is well, the elements from the fixings wrapper appear in a menu on the menu bar. However, the second time the program is run, i.e., once the files have been put in place and I try to access them, I get a 257 error on [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] openDocumentWithContentsOfURL: myurl display: YES error: err]; Which seems to mean I don't have permission... It doesn't matter where the user saves the file; I get the 257 error. I did all of this because when I created the directory using the NSHomeDirectoryForUser(NSUserName()) and submitted the application, Apple complained and said I needed to ask the user where to put it; but if I do I get a 257 subsequent times the program is run. Any ideas on how to do this or get beyond the error code? --Matthew ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Lion permission problems
The whole idea of the app is so that users can automate the combining of different PDFs; users should be able to swap out different pdfs and then the program will recombine them. The program remembers (saves in a wrapper) the pdfs that have been combined. Sort of defeats the purpose if the users can't substitute say this year's calendar for last year's.

Re: Lion permission problems
Unfortunately that undoes the automation idea. The time saving here is that by just re-saving the pdf, the app when the document is opened recombines it based upon the rules that the user set up. Basically you're forcing the user to recreate the sequence of files each time anew.

Re: Lion permission problems
Yup! They are contributed by the user, but they stay in the user space; they are read-only. I create a pdfdocument with them and then borrow pages to resequence them (based on a table the user keeps) and spit out a new pdf. The automatic part is that the user can tell the program what to do with extra pages the program finds when they change pdf documents that the program is monitoring (actually each document monitors the pdfs added to it, just pointers to the docs, actually).

More PDFView mysteries...
Dear Cocoa-Devs, I have an app that works perfectly on snow leopard, it consists of a split view with a pdfview on top, and another view on the bottom.

Re: More PDFView mysteries...
That is a problem; I think this is a pdfkit bug, and I need to register it (slowly figuring these things out). What I did to isolate the problem was create a project with a window in which I just dropped a pdfview and pdfthumbview on (didn't even bother to change the sizing. Hardcoded an URL to a pdf; created a PDFDocument init'd with the url and then did [mypdfview setDocument: myURL]. All of that in the windowcontrollerDidLoadNib method. same problem. pdfviews can't be set in the init'd in the windowControllerDidLoadNib; but I think the problem is bigger. I relocated the load code so it was activated by a button rather than the windowController: same problem. There's a definite pdfview problem... Solutions?

Note what that method literally tells you - the window controller loaded the nib. That doesn't mean that the actual window was instantiated yet (with all its views). A window controller lazily loads the window when it is actually required, which is a bit later. You can use the controller's windowDidLoad method to find out when that has happened. The probable reason this is different on Lion is because NSDocument is a very different beast on Lion. It is often invoked on a background thread and various interface-less document objects are made to support Versions and Autosaving. It's a rather complex situation on Lion which *appears* to assume a very great deal about how your app has subclassed NSDocument. For example, when browsing Versions, each version you see is an actual instance of your NSDocument subclass complete with its window - it's not just the snapshot image you might have thought.

I've had a similar issue (and there are other issues with PDFThumbnailView
that you may or may not run into). This is how I worked around it:
self.thumbnailView.PDFView = self.previewCanvas;
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
self.thumbnailView.thumbnailSize =
self.thumbnailView.thumbnailSize;
});
Simply setting the thumbnail size causes the thumbnail view to straighten
itself out.

Losing attachments when saving rtfd
Dear programmers, Trying to save an RTFD from an NSAttributedString with attachements. The text saves; the images don't... I've been scouring the web but can't seem to figure out what's wrong. I have a NSAttributedString with attachments. I check that the string really has the attachments by using setAttributedString to the textstorage of a NSTextView, and voila, there it is. But I can't seem to save the attachment. This is what I'm trying: //this is a category I found on the interwebs myimagets = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] initWithAnImage: myimage]; //get doc string //replace with the attributed string myattstr = [NSMutableAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment: myimagets]; //stick on a little text at the end to see how it handles both... addon = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString: @and here's the extra bit]; [myattstr appendAttributedString: addon]; //this is my test to see if the attachment is really there: it works! [[myTextView textStorage] setAttributedString: myattstr]; //here's what fails: myfw = [myattstr RTFDFileWrapperFromRange: NSMakeRange(0, [myattstr length]) documentAttributes:nil]; [myfw writeToFile: [@~/Desktop/outfile.rtfd stringByExpandingTildeInPath] atomically:YES updateFilenames:YES]; What's created is an rtfd with only the rtf file in it and no images Thoughts?

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately NSNaturalTextAlignment doesn't seem to affect the justification of the textfields. Try creating a simple project and simply put a textfield and textview in the window in MainMenu.xib. Changing the input to hebrew, running the program does change the text to LTR but it's still justfied on the wrong side. --Matthew ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Preventing lion from saving state...
My approach has landed up being just as kludgy, and I'm really annoyed that
apple has made no way to opt out of this feature. I have basically gone in
(in the applicationWillFinishLaunching app delegate notification) and emptied
and locked the saveState folder for just my application in the ~/Library folder
of the user to prevent this nonsense. Once locked the program behaves
normally.
NSApp delegate needs to simply have a -(BOOL) saveProgramState option (Apple,
are you out there?)
It seems to have taken care of the issue.

In my case, I made a wrapper around NSDocument's addWindowController: that
adds this:
NSWindow* window = [inControllerToAdd window];

Re: NSTableView action doubleAction...
Actually I'm really happy it does both; I just want to count on it doing both. In my case it is really important that the single click do something before the 2nd click. I want users to be able to single click without triggering the subsequent action, the double click takes the single click and applies that action to a selection in a textview. So it works fine. I just want to make sure that I'm not counting on a bug or some other defect (in my very meager programming skills or apple's api).

I find that if I double click It calls both! You're doing both. :) The only way to tell the difference is to delay after the first click to see whether there's a second (just like the way you tell the difference between single and double-tap on iPhone). I guess the question is why you want to do this in the first place. I've written lots of applications where double-clicking in a table did something, and in *none* of them did I also need to implement something for single-clicking. I get an event (thru the delegate) when the selection changes and *that* is usually what I'm interested in. (Actually, in this modern age, it's usually enough to let bindings handle the selection change.) Do you really want something utterly special and unique to happen when the user single-clicks on a row that is already selected? That would be a very strange interface; the user is likely to be very surprised. If you want to make that sort of thing clear, I'd suggest you put a button in the row and catch the click from *that*. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, http://www.tidbits.com/matt/ A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!

to work, even with some pretty complex PDFS (created by comicLife, for

superfluous) but for the record:
-(PDFSelection *) selectFrom: (int) b to: (int) e
{
int bspot, espot;
int i, n;
int flag, totlen, plen;
PDFPage *bpage, *epage, *tpage;
PDFSelection *ans;
totlen=flag = 0;
if(!(b e)) return nil;
n = [self pageCount];
for(i = 0; i n; i++)
{
tpage = [self pageAtIndex: i];
plen = [[tpage string] length];
if(b totlen + plen)
{
flag++;
bpage = tpage;
bspot = b - totlen;
}
if(b totlen + plen)
{
flag++;
bpage = tpage;
bspot = b - totlen;
}

PDFKit cpSelections?
Dear programmers, So, I used the crop marker code that apple provides to experiment in creating a selecting rectangle. I first subclassed NsView as MWSelectingView, and everything worked like clock work. I was even able to modify the CropMarker object (MWViewSelectionMarker) so that when the window resizes it resizes as well. I then just changed my MWSelectingView so it is a subclass of PDFView instead. No go. Now even before I can click on it, while it is loading from nib it bombs with the following pearls of wisdom. I can't find a discussion of cpSelections anywhere. I also don't get how come it even comes to call MWViewSelectionMarker. Only my subclass knows about it. Yes it calls it in drawRect, but really nowhere else. Thoughts?

Dear progammers, Thanks for all the help! Onto the next problem... Users need to be able to select sections of a pdfView, and I need to be able to save and analyze the selections (e.g., do they overlap). I also need to be able to restore the selections later. So the question is, can I use PDFSelection to do this. I can't seem to find a way to say create a selection with this NSRect (or part of the string). Is there a way to do this? Is there an alternative? --Matthew ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Creating a PDFSelection...
António, that's exactly what I needed. But it leads to my next question. The PDFSelection class as far as I can tell basically supports what in Preview.app is the text tool on the toolbar. The selection tool in Preview.app selects an arbitrary rectangle, even if there's no text behind the image. So, is there some way of changing the behavior of the given PDFSelection, or do I have to hand code this (using the Cropped image example code, for instance)?

Re: Creating a PDFSelection...
Actually, I don't need the tiff; I just need the rectangle! People have to be able to sketch the rectangle over the pdf, and then my program stores and restores those rectangles (with some additional information).

The selection tool in Preview just creates a snapshot of the selection. A TIFF image. This has nothing to do with PDFSelection. PDFSelections deal only with text, so I think they are not rich enough for your purposes. I guess you may have to delve deeper; parsing the page streams (you can use Quartz for that), and rolling your own selections. Not a quick and easy task.

Re: NSMovieView - QTMovieView; rate problems...
Okay I'm confused. How do I set the attributes when I init and initWithURL at the same time. I can't seem to find a method to do both. The problem is that when I first init withURL and then use setAttribute, it doesn't take. I check right away and the value is set YES rather than NO. On May 22, 2010, at 3:42 PM, James W.

NSKeyedArchiver: confusion
Dear Cocoa-dev, I'm trying to use a keyed archiver to manipulate a file without actually opening it. Everything seems fine at first: I get the data, I copy it into a NSMutableData object, I init a NSKeyedUnarchiver and get the data I need; I create a new object with the old data (an array of dictionaries) with just a couple of the keys changed. I dump the new array of modified dictionaries and everything looks great. I then try to archive it using the following (where theData is my NSMutableData inited with data in a file). masterOutArray = [[NSKeyedArchiver alloc] initForWritingWithMutableData: theData]; [masterOutArray setOutputFormat: NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0]; [masterOutArray encodeObject: myRecs forKey: @codedDataArray]; [masterOutArray finishEncoding]; [masterOutArray release]; The problem: The old @codedDataArray is not replaced! When I open the file the old junk is all there. The old array is not discarded and replaced with the new (myRecs) array. So I cannot use NSKeyedArchiver like an NSMutableDictionary?

Re: NSKeyedArchiver: confusion
My mistake for not being clear: I have an NSData in an object; I read that data using a keyedArchiver to get to the chunk I want. I want to replace a chunk of that data with another using the same key. (the file part is immaterial).

I’m not sure I understand. Were you expecting the code you posted to write to the file? But nowhere in that code did you specify what file to write to. Archivers don’t directly know about files; they work on in-memory data. (Yes, there are convenience class methods for reading and writing a file, but they just call NSData methods to transfer the data to/from a file.) It sounds like what you want to do is call [NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject: obj toFile: file]. —Jens ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Debugger issue
Dear XCode folk, I'm sure this is obvious but it's got me stumped and googling has produced no solutions. The program always runs with the debugger when I launch with xcode (3.1.4). It doesn't matter if I pick build and go or go; the debugger always launches. In previous versions (2.5) I was able to run w/o the debugger. In general, It's too slow with the debugger up and going for a lot of my debugging work. Is there a way to run this w/o putting it through the debugger? --Matthew ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

dynamic changing of ability to set multiple selections...
Dear cocoa-ites, I have multiple linked NSTableViews in an app. Depending on which one is clicked in the others change their contents. Now normally if someone clicks on table 1 they should not be allowed to have multiple selections; but if they click in table 2, the application needs to be able to select multiple items from table one. At present the way I handle this is that if they click (actually double click) in table 2. [table1 setAllowMultipleSelection: YES ] is called, and then if I receive a selectiondidchange notification I check to see if it's table 1 and change it back to NO (a little more tricky than this, since messing in table 2 will send that notification so I have an object wide flag that I set to prevent this). But this looks sloppy. The user actally can select multiple cells in table 1 but suddenly they are reduced to a single cell (versus not being able to select multiple cells). Is there a better way to turn off and turn on this behavior? Thanks in advance!
