Extract keys, values from 'usrf' Record Type NSAppleEventDescriptor?

I create an NSAppleScript to read the current window name and URL from Safari and return it as a record [1]. When I execute it, I get a nice-looking NSAppleEventDescriptor with the following -description (line breaks added for readability): http://www.apple.com";) ] }> As you can

Document not Saving Text View Attachment

I have a window with an NSTextView. If I edit the text normally, even adding a single character, it behaves properly, I can save, close, reopen, and the change is present. If I close after edit, it asks to save, like it is supposed to. However, if I programmatically insert an attachment (wi

Heh, it actually works currently though. That is a straight copy from my running code. Oh, I get it now! selectedObjects is obviously an array, so when I send valueForKey:@"xml" to it, I get an array of the results of that call on each element - thus requiring lastObject. So really the la

Hi Jerry Thanks for the reply, here are the methods in question. Bear in mind I'm still new to Core Data so there are probably some grievous things going on (the project is GC, by the way). addXML:toBucket:atPath: gets called when self receives new XML. I choose from the added XML via an

Hi, I am rewriting the event handling mechanism of my app in Cocoa. It is in Carbon as of now. Is there a Cocoa equivant for InstallApplicationEventHandler(), so that I can listen to event at the application level? As I understand, as per the NSResponder chain hierarchy, I can get the events on th
