If this is genuinely your scenario, then nothing mentioned in this thread is going to satisfy your requirements. It is pure whimsy to expect any prioritization mechanic to ensure that the capture is buffered around random unrelated user interactions with the Mac. I assume you’ve accepted that power failure, hard OS crash, etc will necessitate re-starting the experiment. However, excuse me for saying so, but I think you’re crazy if you let users log in to this Mac while an experiment is running. You need a dedicated Mac in a locked room. If for some reason it’s infeasible to dedicate a Mac to the capture, then your best option is to tape a sign over the Mac’s screen saying “Experiment running, don’t use this Mac”. That’s going to work better than writing code, and it has the side benefit of making it not your fault if someone ruins the experiment by ignoring the sign. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
