NSForegroundColorAttributeName without AppKit
Hi all, I have some working code for adding attributes to a string. I'd like to modify it so it will work without needing AppKit. I can get it all going except the NSForegroundColorAttributeName constant which seems to only exist in AppKit. Here's an example: NSColor* tokenColor = [NSColor red]; NSDictionary* tokenAttributesDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:tokenColor forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName]; NSRange tokenRange = NSMakeRange(startCharN, [token length]); [tokenizedAttributedString addAttributes:tokenAttributesDict range:tokenRange]; Is there an alternative to NSForegroundColorAttributeName I can use without needing AppKit?

Question about NSScrollView
Hi all ! So I have a question on how to resolve a little issue I have with NSScrollView. I have created everything programmatically (a little exploration task to learn and understand how to do stuff without IB). I have an NSOutlineView enclosed in an NSScrollView (as recommended by documentation). All works good except for little thing. Since NSOutlineView is not populated, content area is empty, but vertical scroller knob is shown (horizontal not showed). Question: Why ? I googled for an answer and got some facts together but don't really know how to get to the solution to rectify the issue. Facts: Scroller in this situation is shown because NSOutlineView has NSTableHeader shown (instantiated). If I set NSOutlineView headerView to nil, it gets released and not shown in the NSScrollView, and then there is no scroller knob. But what if I want to have NSTableHeader ? Seams to me that if the headerView is ON, NSScrollView makes wrong calculation of how much is the content area big and how much should it be shown. I have been examining the documentation for NSScrollView and NSClipView and found couple of methods that has something to do regarding that but I don't know to make a use of them. If any one knows something which could point me to the solution it will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bye.

what is a bindings pattern to check for a non-empty selection?
Hello, I have tried to search for an answer to that question, and I'm sure it must exist somewhere, but bindings and select or selection are definitely not specific enough. I am looking for a way to enable a button in my window only if some selection has been made in the data. Currently the data is shown in a table view and is handled through an NSArrayController. I am trying to bind the button's Enabled property to the ArrayController so that I get whether something is selected (multiple selections allowed). I have tried bindings to selectedObjects using the model key count, as a non zero count is obviously compatible with the BOOL that the property expects. But this doesn't work: I get an error message: Cannot create BOOL from object () of class __NSArray0 I really don't understand that error message, as the count message returns an integer, not an object. Can anybody explain? I finally manage to use the canRemove key of the arrayController. It seems to work, but I feel nervous about it. I don't like the name of it. Of course at first glance, it seems you can't remove unless you have a non-empty selection, but other conditions may apply (not locked, whatever). So is the canRemove the commonly accepted practice to test for a non empty selection in an table view using an NSArrayController? Is there a reason for NSArrayController (or NSObjectController for that matter) not to have a hasSelection predicate available? Or is there another better pattern? (though the question is in the context of an table view and an NSArrayController, it might possibly be asked in a wider context).

Minor resize trouble with NSScrollView
Hi,
I have a window which is split into two views (one atop the other). Both are
NSScrollView instances containing a subclass of NSCollectionView (in an
NSScrollView). The layout of the two views is dynamic -- sometimes only the top
one is visible ( and takes up the full space ) and sometimes both views are
visible. I use an NSAnimation to animate the transition by dynamically
resizing. Here's some ASCII art to show what I'm talking about:
| top| | |
- | top only | ( bottom squished to 0 height )
| bottom | | |
The transition is performed by using an NSAnimation to animate the collapse
of the bottom view, and during the layout process the top view's frame is
expanded to fill the entire space.
This whole thing works correctly when not animating -- and layout also works
correctly when manually resizing the window. The trouble is that when using
NSAnimation the scrollviews don't always resize the child collection views. In
short, when animating, it would appear that the scrollview's frame/bounds are
changed, but it's not updating its content view.
I've tried some special case code in my layout loop to detect scroll views and
force the -tile function to be called, but it doesn't help.
Here's the relevant bits of code -- the NSAnimation subclass which triggers
layout updates:
@implementation CollapseAnimation
- (void)setCurrentProgress:(NSAnimationProgress)progress {
[super setCurrentProgress:progress];
[(StackView*)[self delegate] setCollapseProgress: [self currentValue]];
}
@end
And here's the StackView class which does the laying out:
@implementation StackView
- (void) setCollapseProgress: (CGFloat) progress
{
collapseProgress = MIN(MAX(progress,0),1);
[self layout];
}
- (void) layout
{
if ( layingOut || !self.subviews.count ) return;
layingOut = YES;
NSArray *children = [self.subviews reversedArray];
NSMutableArray *tokens = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity: children.count];
for ( NSView *v in children )
{
CGFloat collapse = [self collapseForView: v];
if ( [v respondsToSelector: @selector(preferredHeight)] )
{
[tokens addObject: [LayoutToken layoutTokenWithPreferredSize:
[(id)v preferredHeight] andCollapse: collapse ]];
}
else
{
[tokens addObject: [LayoutToken layoutTokenWithPreferredSize:
v.bounds.size.height andCollapse: collapse]];
}
}
[self generateLayoutForTokens: tokens availableSize:
self.bounds.size.height];
CGFloat y = self.bounds.size.height;
for ( NSUInteger i = 0, N = children.count; i N; i++ )
{
NSView *v = [children objectAtIndex: i];
LayoutToken *t = [tokens objectAtIndex:i];
CGFloat width = self.bounds.size.width,
height = t.layoutSize;
v.frame = NSMakeRect( 0, y - height, width, height );
y -= height;
if ( [v isKindOfClass: [NSScrollView class]] )
{
[(NSScrollView*)v tile];
}
DebugLog( @Set frame for view %@ with collapse: %f to %@, v, [self
collapseForView: v], NSStringFromRect( v.frame ));
}
printf( \n );
layingOut = NO;
}
@end
Any ideas?

Re: what is a bindings pattern to check for a non-empty selection?
I too have been wondering how others approach this issue. For a long time I used canRemove and eventually switched to using my own value transformer which does the heavy lifting for me. But it's quite tedious to include this value transformer in every project I write which uses bindings like this, so I've been looking for a built-in alternative. So now I'm wondering if selectedobjec...@count is a good alternative. Have yet to try it, but it looks viable. -Steven On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 8:27 AM, Ken Thomases k...@codeweavers.com wrote: On Feb 19, 2010, at 7:15 AM, Jerry Krinock wrote: On 2010 Feb 19, at 03:02, Jean-Denis Muys wrote: I have tried bindings to selectedObjects using the model key count, as a non zero count is obviously compatible with the BOOL that the property expects.

Re: Help with creating CustomViews
It sounds a lot to me (and I could be wrong here) that you're trying to implement something along the lines of an ActiveX control as they were back when I used Visual Basic 5, in the sense that you want a control which is really a collection of other controls, and to be able to drag them around in IB and treat this collection as if they were a single control. While it is possible using IB Plugins, that's not really what IB's plugin system was intended for. This plugin system was meant more for control that are actually custom, such as a WebView object or PDFView or IKImageView or ABPeoplePickerView. (These are all custom classes which Apple has included into IB via its own default set of plugins.) This is to say, the plugin system is intended for actual subclasses of NSView or NSControl (or NSCell) which implement very specific and unique behavior, and where it's important (or at least desired by management) to be able to set their settings in IB during design-time. What you're doing can easily be accomplished in code, by having an NSViewController that points to your own XIB file, and by creating instances of this view controller and inserting its view into other views. This is the canonical way. Not only do you get more flexibility by doing it in code (and a lot less repetition in IB) but this method allows you to encapsulate another level of abstractness inside your NSViewController subclass, thus cleaning up your code (a lot). This is what more experienced Cocoa coders generally do instead of what you're trying to do. -Steven On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 9:19 PM, Jean-Henri Duteau duteaudes...@gmail.comwrote: Hi all, I'm a newcomer when it comes to Cocoa development. I have some good books and they discuss the possibility of CustomViews but the views they create aren't the type that I'm interested. I've scoured the web and haven't found exactly the help I need and I've tried the trial-and-error method and it hasn't worked. What I'm trying to do is the following: -I have a number of model objects, different instances of the same class. -I want to create a CustomView that would enable the display of these objects. -The CustomView is defined in its own NIB file. It consists of a bunch of NSTextField objects laid out in NSBox. -I then want to use that CustomView all over the place. :) But for starters, I'm trying to create a window with 10 instances of my CustomView. -I want to drop the CustomView in other NIB files and set up the actions/outlets/etc. The path that I took that seemed to give the best promise was: I created a CustomViewController (subclassing NSViewController) In MyDocument.init, I init the CustomViewController with my CustomView NIB file. In MyDocument.windowControllerDidLoadNib, I call viewController.view setFrame: and then windowController.window.contentView addSubView. That manages to get my CustomView to show up in the document's window. But that was done programatically and not in IB. Then I looked at the DragAround sample code on the Apple site. This seemed to be exactly give tips for exactly what I wanted, except that the DragAroundView draws itself, there is no NIB file for the view. If someone can point me to some sample code, that would be great. In the meantime, I'll keep trying.

Open panel is permanently dead?

Re: Uncaught exceptions not terminating my app
Just a quick update on this for anyone still interested. To the list of
exceptions to explicitly ignore in your uncaught exception handler, include
NSPortTimeoutExceptions. These happen (rarely) when the spell checking service
is busy or slow to start up (I'm not sure which, it's happening on a customer's
machine). There are also probably other cases, although we haven't seen any.
Other than that, and a one-off crash on Tiger that actually looks like a Tiger
bug, the scheme is working well, in the sense that one learns interesting
things without inconveniencing users unduly.

Strange 'DrawTheMenu' crash
Has anyone ever experienced a crash like the one below? It is happening sporadically in the field (I have, I think, 5 crash logs, spread across all 3 major versions of OS X, i.e. 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6) but I have never seen it here. Examination of the object code reveals that NSCarbonMenuImpl+527 is a call to [NSMenu _enableItems]. All I have to work from is the crash log, but I'm as confident as one can ever be that our NSMenu object has not been released or corrupted. It is pretty much static for the life of the app. The only thing we do which might be a bit unusual is to call [NSApplication setMainMenu] whenever the app comes to the front. That's not actually necessary and I plan to change it, but I thought it worth mentioning. Any clues anybody?

Customizing how errors are presented
I would like to customize how errors in controls like NSTextField are presented. The documentation for NSResponder recommends overriding -willPresentError: in order to customize error presentation. However, that doesn't let me customize *how* the error will be presented to the user. I am unhappy with the alerts because they interfere with the interaction by demanding immediate user attention. For NSTextFields, for example, I would like to experiment with presenting errors by changing the text field's text color, background color, or focus ring color and maybe showing an icon inside the text field, and maybe something else, too. Whatever invalid data should remain visible in the text field for later editing, and only valid data should be passed on to the model. Committing changes should be possible when no control has errors. What is the best way of achieving that? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: super call in the middle of a block of code ..
why would that leak it? Those calls are paired, a table enters editing mode,
the variable is set and what it's set to is retained, when the table exits
editing mode again the cached value is released and nil'ed. The variable is
also released in dealloc (not shown here). I do not know of a case where
setEditing is called with YES twice without an intervening setEditing:NO.

Assuming you just care when the mouse clicks, you could test for it

How to relayout content of NSTextView so that my tab characters are drawn with width of 4 characters
I'm working with an NSTextView and one of the requirements I have is that a
tab character, '\t', shall have the same width as four spaces.
So the text-content would look like this:
- 1 tab
- 4 spaces
And this is how I accomplish this:
// done when NSTextView first loaded and when
// delegate's textDidBeginEditing gets called: (perhaps overkill, but is a
work in progress).
- (void)updateMyTextViewTextAttributes
{
NSMutableParagraphStyle* paragraphStyle = [[myTextView
defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
if (paragraphStyle == nil) {
paragraphStyle = [[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
}
float charWidth = [[myFont
screenFontWithRenderingMode:NSFontDefaultRenderingMode]
advancementForGlyph:(NSGlyph) ' '].width;
[paragraphStyle setDefaultTabInterval:(charWidth * 4)];
[paragraphStyle setTabStops:[NSArray array]];
[myTextView setDefaultParagraphStyle:paragraphStyle];
NSMutableDictionary* typingAttributes = [[myTextView typingAttributes]
mutableCopy];
[typingAttributes setObject:paragraphStyle
forKey:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName];
[typingAttributes setObject:scriptFont forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[myTextView setTypingAttributes:typingAttributes];
}
This allows the appropriate layout to be shown with the initial text as
well as keep the typing attributes the same.
The problem is that the end-user can change the font. And when that
happens, the sample text becomes misaligned. Much like the below:
[smaller font]
- 1 tab
- 4 spaces
[larger font]
- 1 tab
- 4 spaces
I've tried calling myTextView's setNeedsDisplay:YES as I read that it ends
up calling NSTextView's setNeedsDisplayInRect:avoidAdditionalLayout with a
NO for the avoidAdditionalLayout parameter. This didn't change anything.
I've tried calling my updateMyTextViewTextAttributes call when myTextView
has the new myFont set. That doesn't change a thing.
I've also tried telling the layoutManager of myTextView to
ensureLayoutFOrTextContainer for the textContainer of myTextView. No change.
At this point, I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lyndsey Ferguson

Re: How to relayout content of NSTextView so that my tab characters are drawn with width of 4 characters
My layout got messed up.
Imagine that the - 1 tab is is tabbed in with the width of four
spaces and that the - 4 spaces block lines up along with it.
Also, imagine that:
[smaller font]
- 1 tab
- 4 spaces
has the - 1 tab offset to the right of the - 4 spaces block,
and:
[larger font]
- 1 tab
- 4 spaces
has the - 1 tab offset to the left of the - 4 spaces block.
Thanks,

Re: super call in the middle of a block of code ..
Oh, sorry, I was looking at the routine on its own. You're hanging
onto preEditPath for the duration of the editing period and then
releasing it when it's done. It's still early and I haven't had any

I am totally lost, have no clue why it's happening like this. Does any body know why this script is not getting executed? Am I doing any thing wrong? Yes and yes. You set your script's permissions to 700 root/wheel, which means that you don't have permission to run the script. AEWP() executes tasks with root privileges, but it doesn't execute them _as_ root. If you need to do that, then you must use a wrapper that sets the uid to root. Check the archives for more information. It might be easier, though, to set the permissions to 755 instead, and put in a check for root privileges. And if that still doesn't work, then you might need to execute the shell as the task, and point the shell to the script, but I'm pretty sure you just have the permissions set incorrectly.

Re: super call in the middle of a block of code ..

why would that leak it? Those calls are paired, a table enters editing mode,
the variable is set and what it's set to is retained, when the table exits
editing mode again the cached value is released and nil'ed. The variable is
also released in dealloc (not shown here). I do not know of a case where
setEditing is called with YES twice without an intervening setEditing:NO.
Just because you don't know of a case doesn't mean that you shouldn't
be prepared for it. If I were you, I would do something like:
-(void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
{
if(editing) {
[preEditPath release];
preEditPath = [[[self tableView] indexPathForSelectedRow] retain];
}
[super setEditing: editing animated: animated];
if(!editing preEditPath)
{
[[self tableView] selectRowAtIndexPath: preEditPath animated:
YES scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
[preEditPath release ];
preEditPath = nil;
}
}
That is, release preEditPath in the editing case before setting it, to
avoid a leak in the case you are called twice with a value of YES, as
well as avoid passing a nil preEditPath to
-selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: in the case that you
are called twice with a value of NO.

With updateMyTextViewTextAttributes as described, it will set the paragraph
style for new text but won't change the paragraph style for existing text.
What you would want to do would be to apply the new paragraph style to the
existing text, by setting it as the value for NSParagraphStyleAttributeName
on the text storage. To make this work well with the text view, you would
probably want to surround this with calls to shouldChange/didChange
methods--take a look at some of the samples for code examples of this sort of
thing.

strange crash in NSAccessibility
Hello All,
I have a strange crash happening while trying load an open file window/sheet
(NSOpenPanel).
I've got a simple AppController class, which is set as the Application's
delegate. This is all there is to the controller, at this point:
#import AppController.h
@implementation AppController
- (void) openPanelDidEnd:(NSOpenPanel*)openPanel returnCode:(int)returnCode
contextInfo:(void*)x
{
if(returnCode == NSOKButton)
{
NSString* path = [openPanel filename];
// do smart stuff here...
NSLog(@Tried to import midi file %@, path);
}
}
- (IBAction) showMIDIImportPanel:(id)sender
{
NSOpenPanel* panel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
[panel beginSheetForDirectory:nil file:nil types:[NSSound
soundUnfilteredTypes] modalForWindow:[NSApp mainWindow] modalDelegate:self
didEndSelector:@selector(openPanelDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo:)
contextInfo:NULL];
}
@end
I actually have no idea why the NSAccessibility stuff is coming up, and the
docs didn't shed much light for me. The bt is below.
It loads the sheet, then lists the files in the selected directory, then
crashes. It works fine if I disable access for assistive devices on the system,
but is there some legit way around this? Some exception I should be handling?
This is the first time I've run into any accessibility stuff.
Also, just in case anyone knows, when it does work (with assistive devices
disabled), it doesn't actually recognize midi files. Does anyone know what, if
not [NSSound soundUnfilteredTypes], what types I would indicate for opening
midi files?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
J.

Re: setAction:@selector is not working ?
yes i've set a breakpoint and watched.
in fact the values are the same before and after (indicating it was ALREADY set

note the code below is called JUST before the call to popup the menu
i only put that extra AE_OS_MAC stuff there to prove again that it is set
correctly
in reality it is set ahead of time, when the menu is constructed
but either way, it fails until i switch out then back in.

Posting you code is wildly more helpful than describing it. Also, are you
absolutely sure because you've reasoned about your code, or are you

that all is well (i.e. the item exists, the target and action are what you

I've put a small NSXMLDocument into a Core Data binary property like this: code: NSManagedObject *object = /* ... */ NSXMLDocument *xmlDoc = /* ... */ [object setValue:[xmlDoc XMLData] forKey:@xml]; When I go to retrieve it, it's wrapped in an array: (gdb) print-object [object valueForKey:@xml] NSCFArray 0x12c6460( 3c3f786d 6c207665 7273696f 6e3d2231 2e302220 656e636f 64696e67 3d225554 462d3822 3f3e3c6a 6e6c7020 73706563 3d22312e 302b2220 636f6465 62617365 3d226874 74703a2f 2f77 ...etc... So I end up having to use lastObject to get the actual data: code: NSData *xmlData = (NSData *)[[object valueForKey:@xml] lastObject]; NSXMLDocument *xmlDoc = [[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:xmlData options:NSXMLDocumentTidyXML error:nil]; If I don't use lastObject, I get an exception: 2010-02-17 20:46:47.590 AO[7954:813] *** -[NSCFArray length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1371170 I can't find anything in the docs for NSManagedObject or NSData that would explain this, where do I look?

some advice on asynchronous control please
Hi All,
I have a situation where I am using a 3rd party library to manage content on
their service. When I delete an entry the method requires a call back all
good. Now I need to wait for that call back to be called to know if it was
successful or not. In the call back I can set a boolean to indicate success or
not but waiting for that to be set is my issue. What is the right way to wait
for it?
I think
while(!done)
{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:1];
}
Just blocks the main thread which is not what I want at all as this also blocks
the run loop also.
Can anyone give me some guidance on the best practice for this situation?

You'll have to return back to the event loop / runloop after calling the delete-entry function. That lets the UI remain responsive. Then your callback function can call into whatever code you have that should run after the operation completes. —Jens___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

The best thing is to restructure your code. Split it into the part that can
happen before the callback and the part that has to happen afterward. Once
you've done the part that can happen before, simply return out of your code
back to the main event loop. When the callback happens, simply resume with the
part that happens afterward.
If you can't do the 'afterward' part while you're being called back from the
library, you can use -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: with a 0 delay.
That will allow control to return to the library and arrange for your
'afterward' part to be done when control returns to the main event loop.
If the library issues its callback on a background thread, you can use
-performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone: instead. That will
invoke your 'afterward' method on the main thread, when it's idle in the event
loop. You would pass NO for the 'wait' parameter to allow control to return to
the library immediately in the background thread.
Cheers,
Ken

a Foo ivar, but your Other... FooChoice will instead have a selector ivar.
Now, add to your model fooChoice and setFooChoice: methods which transform

I wanted to know if the mouse was on the border area prior to the mouse down event to determine if the mouse icon should change as the mouse hovers over the border. Is there a way to do this without a mouseMoved event? I think the easiest way to do this is to use two NSTrackingAreas, one inset inside the other. When the mouse is inside the larger one but outside the smaller one, the mouse is in the border. You could use mouseEntered:/mouseExited: to determine the state, and cursorUpdate: to set the mouse cursor appropriately. However, I think this border behavior has another, trickier UI aspect. The border that the user can drag really needs to extend beyond the apparent rectangle. That is, if I'm try to grab what appears to be the border, it should be OK if I'm a couple of pixels outside it or a couple of pixels inside it. This means a bit more work for you, because you'll have to do something like one of these: 1. Make your actual view frame slightly larger than you need for drawing, so that the actual grab-able border is literally within the view. 2. Use the natural view frame, but embed your view inside a slightly larger view that represents the outside edge of the border. 3. Detect the mouse position (relative to the border) at a higher level in the view hierarchy, so that you're not restricted by the actual frame of the view being resized. 4. Avoid using a view for each of the iCal-like-event elements, but simply draw them as graphic elements within a larger view that represents the calendar. (When there can possibly be many graphic elements, making each one a separate view is not necessarily the best choice.) ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Note that this code does not have any effect when compiled as 64-bit.
I don't remember all the details at the moment, but I believe the
issue is that the 'frameOrigin' property doesn't work under 64-bit. In
my own code I was forced to use the 'frame' property instead, which
changes the code a bit, but works for both 32- and 64-bit.

Core Animation: What is a trigger key?
In documentation of the protocol NSAnimatablePropertyContainer, -setAnimations: Sets the option dictionary that maps event trigger keys to animation objects. What is a trigger key? I can't find any mention of trigger key in Core Animation Programming Guide. Any relation to an animatable property?

Monitoring other application preferences changes
Greetings. I'm trying to figure out how to monitor the preferences changes in another application's preferences I would like my application to react to changes made in another application settings by the user. besides reloading the plist on a schedule is there a better way? ( I don't like this ) if there is a way to KeyValue Observe it that would be dandy. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Regards.

Re: Monitoring other application preferences changes
i would think you could use FSEvents to be informed of any changes to a .plist file. On Feb 19, 2010, at 8:24 PM, Sandro Noël wrote: Greetings.

You have no guarantee that this is how an application is storing its preferences. And for apps that do use this method, they might synchronize their preferences at random times--perhaps not even until they quit. --Kyle Sluder ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

NSPathStore2 HELP!!!!!!
Subject: Re: NSPathStore2 HELP!! Ok, here is how I solved this. Before I called [NSKeyedUnarchive unarchive...], I called the class method: [NSKeyedUnarchiver setClass:[NSString class] forClassName:@NSPathStore2]; This fixed the errors and allowed me to reclaim the data. NSPathStore2 can not be initialized, so I just told the Unarchiver to treat it as a NSString instead. On Feb 19, 2010, at 4:46 PM, Patrick Cusack wrote: I have serialized by an NSDictionary object using NSKeyedArchiver in my document's save method. When I unarchive the data, I get a error *** initialization method -initWithCharactersNoCopy:length:freeWhenDone: cannot be sent to an abstract object of class NSPathStore2: Create a concrete instance! This is killing me as I can't restore my data. Any thoughts??

Removing item from CollectionView by drag it out.
Greetings I've been looking at Collection View Drag and drop, I've implemented the NSCollectionViewDelegate and now I can Drop items in and everything works fine. I've been looking at removing items from the collection view by dragging them out of the frame. I'm confused by the proper procedures. writeItemsAtIndexes happens just before the item is dragged and just after canDragItemsAtIndexes returns YES. How would i go about it ? 1: when the item is dragged out of the frame, I want to remove it from the collection view as to show that I am holding the item out of the collection ( i got it in my hands and it's in limbo ) 2: I could at any point drop the item back on the collection view as to cancel the deleting of the item 3: I could drag the item to another collection view in the same application as to move the item around. 3: if the item is released outside of any collection view it is lost (deleted). if anyone can point me to a good example, that would be great.

initWithCoder / unarchiveObjectWithData Memory Management Question
I have a memory management question involving the interaction of: - (id) initWithCoder: (NSCoder*) coder from any class that implements NSCoding and + (id) unarchiveObjectWithData: (NSData*) data from the NSKeyedUnarchiver (or any unarchiver) class. After the following lines of code run ... NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: myObjectPath]; myObject = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData: data]; (error handling removed), has myObject been retained, or must I now retain it. The unarchiveObjectWithData class method causes myObject's class's initWithCoder object method to run. I assume that initWithCoder obeys memory management rules and returns a newly alloc'ed and retained object. Does the unarchiveObjectWithData method return that retained object unaltered, or does it autorelease it first, so that the unarchiveObjectWithData method obeys the usual convention of class factory methods to return autoreleased objects? I apologize for asking this seemingly basic question, but I can't find the answer in the Apple docs or via googling, and there seems to me to be a clash of well-established conventions involved. The question came up because I found a case in my code where I convinced myself I was over-releasing an object created in this fashion, but the application never fails because of it.
