With regard to the title to display, I was thinking of 'Activated' if actions
are selected (and by clicking on the pop up one can see exactly what actions
are selected), and 'Deactivated' if no selections have been made. That wording

I want my window to come to the front when I select it. My window (with its
own class to handle it), sadly, has other ideas - and stays resolutely in the
background. Complicating matters, my app is faceless - just a menu item to

Just a quickie, I hope! I'm writing a sandboxed application that uses plugins.
The plugin directories that I want to load from are '/Library/Application

the plugin is subject to my application's sandbox privileges (and thus unable

Okay, I think that this might be a weird one. I've read the documentation, and

I have a slightly odd requirement in that I need to modify, under certain
circumstances, the save path used for an NSDocument based application. The
reason for this is that I may, depending on the format chosen by the user, need
to unpack the data into multiple files. Under this circumstance,

My application has three buttons, each with the same Sent Action. In fact, all

The Sent Action points to a spot of code which will select a tab view:
