Cocoa doesn’t claim to do everything. There are a lot of tasks that should be
done using lower level APIs.

Try using the QTMovie method frameImageAtTime: withAttributes: error:
You can specify the image size you want returned in the attributes dictionary
(along with the image format).

With classic QuickTime if there was no poster frame specifically set in the
movie QuickTime would reliably return the first frame. Wi
hi Kevin,

YES, the QTMovieNaturalSizeAttribute definitely returns the size i am

the remaining problem is that the movie posetr returns a size of 100 x 100

Since there are several ways to hide a file, I don't think
FSGetCatalogInfo will necessarily tel

Hi Chaitanya,
that code always returns a size of 100, 100 for every movie I try. really.
and then the poster or frame is really pixelated because it is coming from
such a small source.
i am surely missing something here!
thanks,

on printing, the problem is that i have to port an enterprise application
that expects to be able to call a fx for the page layout and the page setup
dialog, a fx to begin/end a page, and a fx to begin/end printing.

Have a look at NSArrayController. It makes table views a piece
To see if a file is hidden, I use on the URL(NSURL Class) for the file,
resourceValuesForKeys and pass in the array of properties you are looking for.
In the case of a hidden file, use NSURLIsHiddenKey.
You should be able to make a file hidden as well by using the set counter part.

chflags(), with UF_HIDDEN? And stat() to read the same?
I don't think FSGet/SetCatalog
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the postmortem. Would you mind filing bugs for the items you

QuickTime. Basically I had a good experience, but there were some things i
noticed that i couldn't do easily in Cocoa or any other 64 bit OSX API.
So just in case anyone knows a way to do the things listed below plea
