URL Parsing

2009-01-28 Thread Seth Willits
I can put together my own solution, but I'm *sure* there has to be some real way of doing this built-in *somewhere*, so I have to ask... My app has a URL handler, and I want the user to be able to click a link to save some time to things. The URL would have the form: myapp://action?key1=val

2009-01-28 Thread Seth Willits
I'm fiddling with a URL handler in my app and I noticed that if a modal session was running, the handler - registered with my NSApp's delegate - was not being called, even after the dialog closed. I looked around the docs for a bit to find a reason/workaround and discovered by chance that
