Double-clicking a screensaver

I think I've seen screen savers that copy themselves to ~/Library/ Screensavers by double-clicking on the .saver file (that is still in the DMG). Could someone tell me how I can make my screensaver have this capability as well? Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards, Gabriel. smime.p7s

Re: Double-clicking a screensaver

The system's screen saver app registered .saver as a document type, so that behavior happens automagically. You don't need to do anything besides create a normal .saver plugin from the standard template. I think, I'm doing that, but when I double click the .saver file, System Preferences star

Yeah, I get thatI don't understand why you would create this void section just to display a footer view when you could simply display the footer view on a section that actually has rows. Since you said you're doing this in the middle of the table, I'm assuming there's a section with row

If you use a void section, you can reorder the sections and the custom (here footer) view with just a change in #defines. It seems cleaner to me. Am I just lazy? And does using an empty section produce any visual or functional difference? — F On 31 Oct 2009, at 10:39 AM, Luke the H
