Re: Drawing many different strings quickly

I'd like to suggest a different approach if things cannot be tuned to have far fewer draw calls. Font caching etc. is very fast, but not as fast as it could be given the choices it has to support. I think you said you had one font, one size. I'm guessing you also have no more than 256 different cha

I have a Cocoa helper app with no menu bar (since its a helper). It has a menu status item that brings down a popover and an NSTextField: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0iot0it3dfw2mb/Screenshot%202015-09-28%2014.04.21.png?dl=0 The problem is that without a menu bar, none of the CMD key functions for

Re: NSThread subclass get blocked on 'start' method call

So, the problem actually begins _before_ you create the second thread. If you look at all of the running threads, you’ll see the first thread you created (“Thread 6” on my simulator) locked up inside its dealloc method: (lldb) bt * thread #6: tid = 0x7b7198, 0x000104b4ed92 libsystem_kernel.

I guess I need more help than that. Here is what I’ve got: NSViewController - with a NIB that has a plain NSView, with an NSTextField in it. Using an NSPopover, the NSViewController is the content for the popover. My only two classes are the NSApplication delegate, and the NSViewController. Nei

Re: Drawing many different strings quickly

Are you trying to have selectable text? If not, NSImage has a nice API for drawing to the image context. Then you just have an NSImage. Let AppKit do the work. It will cache the drawing of that image until you change it. You can assign that to a layer or use one for each string. + (NSImage *)i

How to specify Volume to NSURLSession ?

When I download a file using NSURLSession downloadTaskWithRequest the file ends up in exactly the wrong volume. Which means: I have to copy it to the right one, which, for really big files, can take some non-trivial time. Is it possible to advise NSURLSession which volume to use? Gerriet. ___
