'=' and '==' are equivalent in predicate format strings (predicates are queries, so assignment isn't possible)

I should probably have made clear in the first post:

The program returns a list of all tracks that are marked as gapless from my mp3 collection (and only those marked gapless), the problem is that those objects all say that the tracks aren't gapless.

Hi,

I've been trying to do some python scripting of iTunes using pyobjc and ScriptingBridge, and I've been having some problems (I reduced everything to objective-c on its own in order work out if it was caused by pyobjc).

According to:
        
http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/scriptingautomation/RN-ScriptingBridge/index.html

running:
 sdef /Applications/iTunes.app/ | sdp -f h --basename iTunes

should generate an objective-c header file which you can use in conjunction with [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"]
(which it does).

An excerpt from the file I generated (included in the zip file):

@interface iTunesTrack : iTunesItem
...
@property BOOL gapless;  // is this track from a gapless album?
...
@end

So there should be an accessor method on iTunesTrack objects called gapless that returns a BOOL.

[track respondsToSelector:@selector(gapless)] returns YES

However it doesn't seem to work, the code provided in the zip archive (when executed on my machine), produces a list of all the gapless tracks in my mp3 collection, but every line ALSO claims that the track is 'not gapless'.

(The original python code that I was using seemed to get different answers depending on ordering of operations, including calling the accessor twice in a row on the same object giving different answers).

Am I doing something wrong? The other accessors that I call appear to return the right data, though I've not done exhaustive testing.

(As a background to what I'm doing, I want my iTunes playlists random except for gapless cds, which I want to be seamless, the shuffle provided by itunes can't make that distinction for itself).


<tester.zip>
        From test.m :
NSPredicate* predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"gapless=YES"];

this should probably be : ..... predicateWithFormat:@"gapless==YES"];
