Well, Apple has. NSProgress is a multi-purpose class, one of whose purposes is to provide a thread-safe way of trampolining the progress completion reports from a background worker thread to properties that may be safely accessed from the main thread. However, there’s a bit of a learning curve associated with NSProgress, since it does other stuff that may or may not be useful here. Also, some additional coding may be needed to rewire the properties that the UI bindings actually use, to match to the NSProgress API. For that reason, it may be simpler (in this case) just to dispatch to the main thread and keep the rest of existing code structure. I remember you had an excursion into the weird world of NSProgress, maybe 2-3 years ago, because you posted about it here. It’s only fairly recently that I’ve started using NSProgress too. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
