We're seeing a weird problem in 10.10. Inserting or removing items from the
main menubar will often not cause the menubar to redraw. Clicking in the
menubar or typing a key equiv used in a menu item will cause it to redraw. I've
done quite a bit of dinking around to try to figure out if it's som

No. I don't think that's the right place to do this sort of thing. And we're
too late in the cycle now to make such a radical change.

Our app init (called from applicationWillFinishLaunching) needs to put up some
modal dialogs. When one of these modals is dismissed, NSApplication proceeds to
call application:openFiles:, but we haven't returned from
applicationWillFinishLaunching yet, so we're not ready. I'm sure others have

We have some generic window loading code that must instantiate the window
controller first, then calls initWithWindowNibName: on that. This made it
impossible to provide a subclass of our generic window controller subclass in
the xib, but now we need to do this. Since NSNib doesn't have a method
Our app has a bunch of palettes (NSPanels). One of them is usually flush

have setMovable:NO set on them, because we needed to handle moving them

I'm looking at a crash log for our app that shows our app is initting. During
init ([NSApplication finishLaunching]) we discover a problem and put up a modal

something has decided that it would be a great time to handle

Application Support; that's an idea.

It appears that items in the TemporaryItems folder that are older than 3 days
will be periodically deleted. (One of our guys found some Darwin docs that

For what it's worth, Cocoa's key equiv updating doesn't always work

That's why I prefer it when instance vars are named as such. I dislike the
Microsoftish m_var. my old job used iVar, which was a lot easier to type.

It's not a compiler error, it's a programmer error. Static analysis would
probably flag it (Build & Analyze or whatever it's called).

Because once the block containing the array exits scope, so does the memory of
the array. tuplesP is pointing to memory that is no longer valid.
