Hi,
The QuickLook API documentation defines and contrasts thumbnails and
previews, but all I see on the client side is the only function
QLThumbnailImageCreate. I assume this is for creating thumbnails,
isn't it? In that case, how do I create previews on the client side?
Alternatively, if this

File descriptors are almost always a scarce resource. By default, each
process only gets 256 of them.

No, NSUndoManager is very fragile, and if it gets into a bad state it

Hello,
I have an application in which the user can continuously zoom and pan a canvas
(kind of like Google Maps). On the canvas, a user can have multiple text
items. Each text item is a Core Animation layer, and the text is drawn using
NSLayoutManager's drawGlyphsForGlyphRange method.

Hello,
I wrote a method for NSArray.
- (NSArray *)objectsForKey:(id)key
{
NSMutableArray *objectsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:10];
for( id item in self )
{
[objectsArray addObject:[item objectForKey:key]];
}
Yeah, that should be fine, but it's unnecessary.
You can just do:
NSArray *objectsArray = [theArray valueForKey:key];
And it'll do pretty much the same thing (except that it'll call -valueForKey:
on each item in the array, and not objectForKey:. However, if the objects are
