thanks graham, i sent performSelectorOnMainThread from readFromURL & the message succeeded, but visually i got the same result: the window did not show until the document window showed. i fear apps may simply not show windows at this point in the load.
my syntax for the test: [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(showReadHUD) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES]; i assume waitUntilDone:YES is the correct thing to do here. edward On Apr 23, 2014, at 8:20 PM, Graham Cox <graham....@bigpond.com> wrote: > > On 24 Apr 2014, at 10:06 am, edward taffel <etaf...@me.com> wrote: > >> at present, i’m finding it difficult to find a point, prior to NSDocument >> initializing autosaved documents, to show a progress window. everything >> above readFromURL is off the main thread & there is nothing in the >> application delegate protocol that precedes—so far as i’m aware. any >> thoughts here? >> > > > Design your progress stuff so that it can be initiated from any thread.
