Odd behavior of [NSDateFormatter dateFromString] with short years?

Hi, im running into some very odd behavior when using a ShortStyle date formatter for entering dates, and using single vs double digit year numbers. typing the year as either "2009" or "09" works as expected, but typing it as "9" not only does *not adjust the century, but also produces wh

Negative values in KVC's @sum?

Hi, i'm wondering if i am missing something, but is KVC's @sum operator supposed to handle negative values? i'm using it to calculate the sum (duh) of NSDecimalNumber in a custom class. all is going fine, but as soon as i have a negative value, i get a huge negative number as result. for

Re: NSTask temrinationStatus always == 1?

Jim, i have an odd issue with NSTask. for some reason, no matter what result code my executable returns (im running xcodebuild, if that matters), NSTask's terminationStatus always reports back as 1. if instead i use system() to run the exact same command, i get bak proper error codes (0 for

Re: Odd EXEC_BAD_ACCESS after executing URLRequest [SOLVED]

Jason, The way you've allocated the connection, it should start automatically. You shouldn't need to call -start manually. This *might* be causing some issues. The documentation doesn't say not to call it on a connection that is already started, but there might be a bug. Try removing this ca

Re: Odd EXEC_BAD_ACCESS after executing URLRequest

Jason, +[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:] ? Recursively pumping the run loop like that in the default mode is discouraged. I don't know the specifics of why, but crashes such as you're seeing could be part of it. same happens when i frun the code "proper" as

Re: Odd EXEC_BAD_ACCESS after executing URLRequest

Jacob, Are you sure you are not accidentally triggering two 'send message' calls concurrently. One of the most common causes of this problem is that your second request is over-writing the variables of an already in progress request. Check that done is not set to yes when you call your '

Odd EXEC_BAD_ACCESS after executing URLRequest

Hi, i'm hoping someone has an idea here - i'm seeing odd crashes after doing URL requests. the first request completes fine (up to it triggering connectionDidFinishLoading:), but shortly after or while doing a subsequent request, i get a EXC_BAD_ACCESS in what seems to be a secondary work

Re: NSTableView "sometimes" doesn't repaint on reloadData:?

Andrew, Michael, So then the question is, why does this -reloadData call fail? The most obvious reason would be that its target is nil. In any case, step through the code in question in the debugger, and hopefully the reason shall be revealed. i got it: the problem was actually my tableVi

Re: NSTableView "sometimes" doesn't repaint on reloadData:?

Michael, thanx for the extensive reply. any idea what might be happening? i mean, obviously the call to reloadData: takes fine, else if the table had - say - 3 rows before, it would not know to paint row five when i click it, right? That's actually not obvious at all. You must remember th

Re: NSTableView "sometimes" doesn't repaint on reloadData:?

Andrew, Greetings, Marc, I've seen this behavior when calling -reloadData from a thread other than the main thread. Is it possible that that's happening in your case? i'm only ever changing the data in response to an action received from a UI element - a search box or a menu item selec
