NSFileWrapper

Hi All Our users have now decided to push the bounds of the system - resulting in file sizes that are getting to large for comfort. It would be possible to fairly easily split the current file format into two and store it as two separate units. This is a particularly interesting solution as h

Overriding custom KVC methods in Swift?

I just looked through the Key-Value Coding Programming Guide, and I’m wondering what the prototypes are of the name-customized methods for your properties in Swift. Since the KVC protocol is informal, getting the names and/or types wrong doesn’t mean an error, but that your implementation is ig

Re: NSFileWrapper

It sounds like you want your file format to be what is known as a “package”. It’s a directory, but is (mostly) presented as a single file. NSFileWrapper is an API for working with files, it does not directly control whether something is a package or not. It just happens to be the most convenien

Re: NSFileWrapper

Hi Mike You're right - I want the behaviour of a package. Do you happen to know how I can achieve it?   I had presumed it might be some mix of flag setting at system level. If for example i set the extension on an NSFileWrapper to   .bundle i get some of what I need - but I cant find out how to

Re: NSFileWrapper

Hi Jens “If your app’s performance is suffering because of large files, then use streams instead, and try to only read the part of the file that’s necessary.” Could you point me at some material about this technique ? It sounds very interesting. I will check out the database approach as well.

How to implement a control/view that maps to a "String?" (in Swift)

I guess I could implement a “String” property with a NSTextView. What about a “String?” though. NIL and empty strings are distinct in the model, and I’ll like to reflect that in the document window too. (Although no one but me would pick a NIL option over an empty text-view and string.) I wa

Sorry to ask again, but maybe I'm asking the question incorrectly. Remote Notifications outside app delegate.

When registering for push notifications, the success or failure methods are sent back to the application delegate in these methods - application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: – application:didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError: Is it possible to "catch" these from

Re: NSDocument not displaying save prompt on dirty document

Ok. The issue was that the auto-save prompt had disappeared when I was closing a dirty nsdocument. I added a nswindowcontroller to my nsdocument using addWindowController. I needed to add setShouldCloseDocument to my main nswindowcontroller, otherwise my document wouldn’t show the prompt. Patri
