NSTableView binding and clickedRow returning -1

Hi Thought I would post something I see as reoccurring problem. Basically, having an NSTableView (wrapped in a custom NSView) setup with bindings works fine. Then, trying to get the double-action/target in IB working has strange behaviour when it comes to fetching clickedRow. *Referring to my own

Blurry is the New Sharp

Leaving aside any discussion of whether it was a good idea to add "vibrancy" to the OS, I do have a question about how to use it. When a popup window or a pulldown such as a menu appears, using the content of whatever's under it as the source image for vibrancy makes sense because the tempora

Re: Rearranging NSOutlineView via drag-and-drop

In case it helps anyone, here's how my NSOutlineView rearranging story ends. I found that reloadItem: works perfectly well to update disclosure triangles. In my acceptDrop method, I tracked which parent items were affected by the move by adding them to an NSSet, then I use performSelector:with

URLByResolvingBookmarkData not case sensitive

I am using URLByResolvingBookmarkData . If I make a Bookmark to a file: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Documents/MyFile.txt and later resolve it with URLByResolvingBookmarkData, I get the original path as expected. Then if I change the filename to MYFILE.txt in the Finder and resolve the bookmark again,

Re: Blurry is the New Sharp

Georg, I believe you can uncheck "allows vibrancy" in IB. But back to my original question: does anyone know how to make the vibrancy effect be based only on the desktop image, ignoring any other windows which might be beneath the foreground app? — Charles On Monday, January 5, 2015 at

Re: Rearranging NSOutlineView via drag-and-drop

Well, the view-based outline view calls my delegate to get the view pointer for a given item, and in response my delegate dutifully creates one, sets its text and image, and hands it over. But after that the item view I created is owned by the outline view, and I think--but would be happy to be

Thanks to everyone for the info about viewForTableColumn:item:. I overlooked it somehow in my search. You're right, I do all the configuration in outlineView:viewForTableColumn:item:, but when I tested using reloadItem: on affected nodes of the tree, the disclosure triangles got updated but

UIAutomation, cannot tap UIImagePickerController Choose button

Hi, I’m trying to make some test with UIAutomation, basically, I select an image from the camera roll, UIImagePickerController allowsEditing property is set to YES. When I try to tap the “Choose” button I got this error: Script threw an uncaught JavaScript error: target.frontMostApp().

Re: Blurry is the New Sharp

Well, the user has selected a desktop wallpaper he likes, presumably with a pleasing color scheme. Taking vibrancy from an image the user has already indicated a preference for is much kinder than blurring in whatever happens to be in a window behind the foreground app. — Charles Jenkins On
