Re: PSA: Does your app use Sparkle? Update it, or use an HTTPS server
May be I am wrong (or it is off-topic) - but is this (just) a Sparkle problem?
I have read "Vulnerable Security - There's a lot of vulnerable OS X
applications out there" (https://vulnsec.com/2016/osx-apps-vulnerabilities/) -
and if I got the idea then browsing the web is insecure.
Why? Because any application accessing web content via the WebView framework
(Sparkle, Safari and many other apps) might allow to "launch special / default
behaviour" (for example "file://" or "ftp://"; or Safari which starts iTunes if
you click a link to any app store resources) and access to "unknows domains"
("other domains" or even worse included OS routines). Correct?
In my opinion, the solution (for the Sparkle problem and browsing the internet)
would be to change the WebView framework itself:
1.) If a domain is accessed, then do not allow access to ANY other domain.
2.) If a web content (or included resources) tries to access "unusual"
resources (like "file://" or "ftp://"; or "http://192.0..."; or whatever) then
ask the user for confirmation.
This might not only fix the Sparkle problem, but would give us much more
security. HTTP or HTTPS.
And it might stop all these (external) traffic analytics and ads we all do not
want to join or see.

Re: Does anyone else dislike Xcode 4?
Even if I would agree that the discussion is at the wrong list... :-)) I also dislike XCode 4 - but I do not see the problem. I am using XCode 3 to develop my stuff - and XCode 4 to e.g. transfer it to the App Store. Just install XCode 4 at a unique developer folder (e.g. "developer4"). Then install XCode 3 also at a unique developer folder (e.g. "developer3"). This way you can use both. The only problem I see is the NIB files which are not compatible with XCode 3 if created/modified by XCode 4. If working with XCode 4 I create/modify the NIBs therefor with the InterfaceBuilder of XCode 3. By the way: XCode seems to remove all older versions of the iOS kits if installing a newer XCode. It took me hours to download/install different versions of XCode, copy the iOS kit (e.g. iOS 3.2, iOS 4.1) to a different folder, installing the next version - and at the end putting all together. (As far as I know I need the older iOS kits to build & test iOS apps with the Simulator and then to build and send to people with older devices.) ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: iOS: Manually setting orientation makes a mess out of my interface
It might be the wrong way to set the orientation manually? Try to use "shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation" and return "NO" for "interfaceOrientation" not being "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft" or "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight". This way you have less code and it does not depend on any display size. It is working in my apps. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

boundingRectWithSize and the size height parameter
Hello, it seems that the size height parameter of the function boundingRectWithSize does not work? Apple states that the size parameter can be zero or the size of the rectangle to draw in. If the defaultLineHeightForFont is 30 and I set the size height to a value (e.g. 100) I would e.g. expect something like 90. But I get something like 120 for a text which needs 4 lines. I tested it under MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5. Any ideas? mDescription is a long text (up to 20 lines) but I need to draw e.g. only 3 lines (or 4 lines - this depends on the space left on screen) -- First example --- NSFont *mDescrFont = [[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] fontWithFamily:@"Arial Narrow" traits:0 weight:5 size:descrFontSize]; NSDictionary *mDescrFontAttributes = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: . mDescrFont, NSFontAttributeName, nil]; NSAttributedString *entry = [[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:mDescription attributes:mDescrFontAttributes] autorelease]; NSStringDrawingOptions options = NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingOneShot | NSStringDrawingDisableScreenFontSubstitution; NSSize s = [entry boundingRectWithSize:NSMakeSize(500, 100) options:options].size; s is always the size the text needs - not the size height which fits into it. -- Second example --- NSTextStorage *textStorage = [[[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:mDescription] autorelease]; NSTextContainer *textContainer = [[[NSTextContainer alloc] initWithContainerSize:NSMakeSize(width, top - 5)] autorelease]; NSLayoutManager *layoutManager = [[[NSLayoutManager alloc] init] autorelease]; [layoutManager addTextContainer:textContainer]; [textStorage addLayoutManager:layoutManager]; [textStorage addAttributes:mDescrFontAttributes range:NSMakeRange(0, [textStorage length])]; [textContainer setLineFragmentPadding:0.0]; [layoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:textContainer]; NSSize s = [layoutManager usedRectForTextContainer:textContainer].size; Here s is also not what I would expect.

Re: Modal dialog without NSApplication
Hi, thank you very much for your answer, Rob. > I am successfully using modal Cocoa windows in a plugin inside a Carbon application. This statement and your code gave me the final hint that it must work - and that the problem must be found somewhere else. Using your code nothing changed at all. In fact it would surprise me if using a loop with a session would be different to calling runModalWithWindow (concerning my problem I mean). So I again looked at the documentation - and here we are: do not send makeKeyAndOrderFront: to aWindow. But I called makeKeyAndOrderFront and you too. I removed the makeKeyAndOrderFront call in my old code - and everything works correct. Everthing? No - there is still one minor problem: if I hide the carbon application and activate it again then my modal window is updated. But not the current modal dialog of the carbon application (which calls my modal dialog via user action). Yes - I know. It is not good practice to show two modal dialogs. But this is the way the carbon application is doing it. And I can not change this. Any ideas how I can "send" a update to the carbon application? The problem here is that the NSApplication will receive the event - and will not update the carbon modal dialog.

Re: Modal dialog without NSApplication
Hi,
thank you very much again for your quick answer, Jean-Daniel.
> In theorie, you can safely call NSApplicationLoad()
I allready do.
> ... create you own auto release pool
I allready do. And then I call this function (within subclass of
NSWindowController):
- (void)showModalDialog
{
NSApplication *_app;
NSWindow *_window;
[self showWindow:nil];
_app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
_window = [self window];
[_app runModalForWindow:_window];
}
The modal dialog (displayed this way) blocks everything - it is not
possible to close the modal dialog, hit any button or something else.
For me it seems that the NSApplication:: runModalForWindow blocks all.
So what I am searching for is to display the modal dialog without
NSApplication.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Ness

Re: Modal dialog without NSApplication
Hi, thank you very much for your quick answer, Jean-Daniel. > If you want a complexe dialog... Yes. So I guess CFUserNotification does not help. > I don't understand why using NSApp for this kind of works will have an impact on the remaining of you application though. Just because a lot of my code handles common task - and it is not guaranteed that there is a NSApplication at all. For example let's take a plugin for a carbon application - here there is no NSApplication. And: using NSApplication would mean to bind the code only to applications and to name all files ".mm" instead of ".cpp" - not usable if you want to build that under Win.

Modal dialog without NSApplication
Hi, I am developing application software for Mac and Windows. Most of the code is developed using ObjectC - this way most of the code can be used for both OS. Only the OS depending stuff - like showing dialogs, menus... - is separated. The problem: how can I show and handle a modal dialog for MacOS X without NSApplication? Using NSApplication (and all the other classes) would mean to have a lot more code OS depending. Any ideas?

NSApplication in Carbon application
Hello,
first of all I do not know if it is correct to send this message to you.
I allready posted my question to discussions.apple.com but it seems
that nobody knows an answer.
By the way: after posting the message to discussions.apple.com some
characters were removed (brackets and some more characters). I do not
know why and how to correct this (so these characters are not removed
the next time I post a message).
Any hint would be very nice.
I am writing a plugin for FileMaker (which seems to be a Carbon
application). The plugin is based on Cocoa.
I want to display a modal dialog. So I am using this code for a
subclass of NSWindowController:
- (void)showModalDialog
{
NSApplication *_app;
NSWindow *_window;
[self showWindow:nil];
_app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
_window = [self window];
[_app runModalForWindow:_window];
}
The modal dialog (displayed this way) blocks everything - it is not
possible to close the modal dialog, hit any button or something else.
Even worse - if I deactivate FileMaker and activate it again then my
preference dialog is behind the FileMaker preference dialog.
I even tried to call NSApplicationLoad...
My question: how can I get a sharedApplication in Cocoa if the
Application itself is based on Carbon?
Is this possible at all (or do I have to write my plugin based on
Carbon)?
Cheers
Martin Brodhage
