I'm happy to embrace iOS7, but Apple's own software offers a caution.
The weather app is almost unreadable - tiny, thin type in white on a light blue
background. The calendar won't present a list view unless you are searching.
The calculator in scientific mode uses tiny type on "buttons" that ca

I've implemented the two page index methods in the dataSource, but I'm not
getting a page indicator. Where does it appear, near the bottom? I see my
methods are being called.
I also don't know how to determine the current page index.
-presentationIndexForPageViewController: should return an NSI
As a final experiment, in my Matrix class I overrode initWithFrame……
and as the first and only line of the override had this:
BOOL f = [super isFlipped];
Lo and behold it returned YES which is definitely not the default.
I stopped the execution.
So from this I conclude that NSMatrix IS flipping t

hierarchy only works if you begin the swipe off the screen. However, in our

Which seems to work, but it is still

So, what you can do is duplicate and rename the file and then pick that file as
the one to use from the main window after you click on your project file in the

The reason I want to do this is to discover the textual path of a file given
