Let’s assume we’re using a NSDocument-based application. If we’re opening a big file, like a gigabyte or more, does the system code automatically show a progress bar dialog? Or does the user look at a whole bunch of nothing (i.e. wondering if the app locked up)?
If the latter, I guess we would (eventually) implement a opening progress window ourselves. I’m thinking of a app-global window that contains a list. Each list item corresponds to an object of a NSOperation subclass; where the operation and list item have the same lifetime. The operation could have a NSProgress object that the list item tracks. (Hopefully NSProgress is sufficiently thread-safe.) Is that workable? Is there a better idea? — Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
