Hi Bill,
Thanks for the postmortem. Would you mind filing bugs for the items you
think are too difficult?

Thanks Stephen, that's the piece of the puzzle I was missing. I was assuming
(or misinterpreting) that passing flipped:YES for the NSGraphicsContext
ACTUALLY FLIPPED the context, not just informed it that the context had been
flipped.
I found I had to set the CTM after the CGPDFC
Heh. Okay, glad that made sense, but as discussed in all the other
resources, yes, context flippedness is a piece of _metadata_ orthogonal from
the CTM. You may consult it to get the high level notion of which way
should be considered "up".

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.

Hi,
I'm experiencing a weird problem and i wonder if anybody else has noticed this:

Hi,
My app is set to observe a folder for changes to its contents (using UKKQueue.
Thanks Uli! :-)). When files are dropped into the folder the app is notified
and processes the files. This works well, except for one catch: sometimes we
receive the notification and spawn the worker thread, and

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).
