I have a main app and a sub-app background process (both Cocoa). The main app needs to send the sub-app a bunch of files to process... Anywhere from one to hundreds.
The main app has a list of paths to process in an NSArray. In my testing with NSDistributedNotifcationCenter, it handles up to about 30... After that it starts to lose some. What are better options? 1) Apple Events... These are messy but I'd go there if it'd not have lost events. 2) Write the NSArray to a file, then let the subapp just read from this file and process them one at a time. TI could notify the subapp via a DistributedNotifactation or it could just keep poling a private folder every so often (yuck). The only problem I see with this is how can I cancel one or more files from the queue since I don't think it's a good idea to have both apps writing to the same file. 3) Distributed Objects? Not sure how this would work - how do my app find each other? If I could do: [remoteApp processDict:myDict]; // dict has a @"Path" key with a file path Thaoughts?
