There are a few reasons why I don't think it is a good idea to combine the two. First of all, when you mount the file system using the default mountAtPath, the framework will spawn a new thread to process your file system. In that case, your controller will be running in the main run loop and also have FS delegate methods being called from another thread. I think this can lead to some confusion. Another reason not to mix them is that they do different things. The controller should be handling the main run loop, while your FS instance that implements the delegate methods should focus on being a file system and doesn't need to even know about the controller. > class. > Like: > > userFS = [[GMUserFileSystem alloc] initWithDelegate:self isThreadSafe:YES]; > > > I had things working and then I did this (where delegate is self) and am now > getting weird null pointer issues.

It almost sounds like you want a command-line file system and want to avoid the whole .app stuff altogether? If that is the case, then there is an example of this using the LoopbackFS. It might be a good idea to start your file system off this way since it lets you focus only on the file system part. For the 1.7 tag the file I'm referring to is here: http://macfuse.googlecode.com/svn/tags/macfuse-1.7/filesystems-objc/LoopbackFS/loop.m A comment near the top of the file tells you how to compile from the shell. This is another reason not to mix your FS and controller implementation; in this case I can easily create a command line version that re-uses the same FS implementation as the .app version. ted > Thanks. > Cocoa Dummy > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
