I think there are some overlooked subtleties as @"" is a string literal. Retain and release are pretty much meaningless to it. Sandor Szatmari On Jul 31, 2013, at 15:28, Vincent Habchi wrote: > Thanks to all for answering, > >> Why would there be? Your just asking for a mutable copy of an em

Initializing a NSMutableString an odd way

Folks, I apologize if this question looks stupid or contrived. Here it is: is it permissible to use [@“” mutableCopy] to initialize (or reset) a NSMutableString instead of the more classical [[NSMutableString alloc] init]? Thanks a lot! Vincent ___

Well, for one, you've got to start by telling us what type of "server" it is. AFP, HTTP, SMB, VNC, WebDAV, SQL/PHP, what kind of "server" do you want to talk to and what kind of tasks do you expect to do? You may want to read up on the URL Loading System Programming Guide and the File System

Slow down a scroller?

Is there any way to make a scroller less touchy? We have a couple cases where the horizontal scroller isn't controlling pixel movements of the view, but is used for more granular movements (rounded to the beginning of each measure in a musical score). It doesn't take much to flick it from 0 to 1

I have two questions. The simple one, if a file is invisible to the user but was previously visible (say renamed with a . prefix) can it still be found by NSMetadataQuery searches? The more open ended one, what are the recommended search facilities for searching for things not indexed by Spotli
