Open Recent Crash

2014-12-13 Thread Gerriet M. Denkmann
Whenever I do in TextEdit: File → Open Recent I get a crash.

Obviously the list of recent documents is somehow corrupted.

So I renamed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.LSSharedFileList.plist 
to: LSSharedFileList bad.plist, started TextEdit and got the same crash.
Also got a new LSSharedFileList.plist with 20 entries (which seems to be 
identical to LSSharedFileList bad.plist).

So there must be some other location where (corrupted) data about my recent 
files is kept. But where?


Gerriet.

10.10.1; TextEdit Version 1.10 (319).

Whenever you do something with defaults, ignore the plist file. Instead always 
use the command line tool defaults. There have been major changes throughout 
the system releases as to how the defauls daemon works

Added Toolbar, now main window can't be resized

2014-12-13 Thread Charles Jenkins
Everyone,  

I got my app working pretty much as I desired, then came up with a reason to 
add a Toolbar. I opened my NIB in IB and dragged one over, added the needed 
buttons easily, then connected them up so my app responds to them.

The only thing is, since adding the Toolbar, my main window has become locked 
to the designed size. I can’t resize by dragging any edge; the green blob can’t 
resize the window; and if I zoom to full screen, the drawn part of my app 
window rests in the upper-left corner and the rest of the display goes black.

All my settings for the window in IB are the defaults except that I set Full 
Screen = Primary Window. The Maximum Size setting is unchecked.

What else should I look for to determine why my window became unresizable?

Re: wits end with nsview and nsrectfill()

2014-12-13 Thread Navneet Kumar
Hi
After trying out everything, I finally found how to remove that difference in 
background color.
I couldn’t find any rationale in this patch effect, so I turned the outline 
selection highlight to none (regular, i.e. plain white also works).

So if you take a view-based outline view (or maybe table view as well) and fill 
a table column’s view’s background with NSRectFill() or any other and add as 
sub view a transparent text field, upon refresh the text field and the rest of 
the background will differ in color as long as selection highlight is set to 
“Source List”. As if source list color superimposes on the area other than the 
text field.

But I still can’t understand the nitty gritty of this.

But in this solution, the outline view loses source list style color in its 
appearance.

Also I found that setting the background color does not lead to this patch.

Is there anyway I can still get the same source list style color in its 
appearance and not have this patch? If setting background color is the 
solution, how to get source list color without applying it?

Any ideas?

Wishes,
Navneet

 Hi,
 
 The problem is not there if I create a new project and add a text field as 
 subview to a custom view with a background color. There is no difference in 
 color in text field and rest of the area.
 
 And also this wasn’t there a couple of months ago, and not using git or 
 subversion, I am not able to locate what I did to get to the current problem.
 
 Any ideas what could be happening?
 
 Can I get clear on some things?:
 
 1. If a view is send the msg -display, is the msg sent to all its subviews 
 without exception?
 2. Could it be that so many views when trying to display (in the main thread 
 of course), could block some views from refreshing altogether?
 
 If I could get a few pointers, I might get to the bottom of this problem.
 
 Best,
 Navneet

 Thanks for the responses.
 
 The problem is still there.
 
 I don’t need to dynamically add or remove views and was following the wrong 
 way to setup view hierarchy in drawRect:.
 
 I have changed it to the following order: initWithFrame: then 
 -(void)setupSubViews in all related classes.
 So in app delegate I call initWithFrame: and then immediately setupSubViews. 
 The entire view comes to front a lot later.
 
 The view hierarchy is complex, starting with a view based outline view, then 
 child of a root node has box views (2 in a row). Every box has this bottom 
 view which has this problem. I’m adding a non-selectable, non-editable text 
 field with setDrawsBackground set to NO, as a subview to this bottom view.
 
 In drawRect:, I’m just using NSRectFill() with:
 
 NSColor *bgColor = [[NSColor blackColor]blendedColorWithFraction:0.25 
 ofColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
   [bgColor set];
   NSRectFill([self bounds]);
 And initially the background is same in text field and rest of the area. but 
 on refresh, the rest of the area becomes darker, which shouldn’t be as 
 NSRectFill() is supposed to draw opaquely.
 
 
 Thanks,
 Navneet

 Hi,
 
 I have a custom view in which I am setting the background using 
 NSRectFill() in drawRect:.
 
 You’re aware that this function is only really suitable for drawing opaque 
 colors, yes? If you NSRectFill() with a transparent color, it will not 
 blend that color with the existing backing store. Instead, it will replace 
 all pixels in that rect with transparent ones, obliterating any drawing 
 performed by ancestor views in the hierarchy.
 
 I am also adding a text field as subview in this method.
 
 This is not allowed. -drawRect: is for drawing, not mutating your view 
 hierarchy.
 
 If you want to position/install views at the last possible second before 
 the drawing pass, use -viewWillDraw. But you have not offered any reasons 
 why you need to dynamically add or remove views at all, much less in tandem 
 with the drawing pass.

I believe the Source List setting means that an NSVisualEffectView lies 
behind the text field. The only documentation I have been able to find about 
NSVisualEffectView is  (1) in the AppKit release note for Yosemite (which 
apparently is still only available for Developer Preview 5) and (2) in the 
NSVisualEffectView reference document. In one of those documents, there is some 
discussion of what you have to do to avoid unwanted color changes in text 
fields with NSVisualEffectView in back.

2014-12-13 Thread Maxthon Chan
What I am doing here is scanning all loaded classes for subclasses of a certain 
class. Before any NSObject method can be issued I have to check if it is 
actually NSObject or NSProxy derivative instead of an Object derivative that 
does not support NSObject methods. This calls for runtime equivalent for one of 
the following NSObject methods:

- [NSObject respondsToSelector:(SEL)aSelector] = 
class_respondsToSelector(Class, SEL) // this crashed.
+ [NSObject conformsToProtocol:(Protocol *)aProtocol] = 
class_conformsToProtocol(Class, Protocol *) // check for NSObject protocol, 
this does not work.
+ [NSObject isSubclassOfClass:(Class)aClass] // no equivalent, have to 
implement it myself

I ended up creating this:

BOOL class_isSubclassOfClass(Class cls, Class other)
{
for (Class c = cls; c; c = class_getSuperclass(c))
if (c == other)
return YES;
return NO;
}

If i remembered it right GNUstep runtime have this function. I will file a bug 
report to Apple and ask them to add this, as it is useful in class scanning and 
i am using this technique heavily in jailbreak detection.

Ain’t work! Will crash if an Object derivative showed up.

Are you saying that Apple's well-documented approach to see if an object is 
derived from NSProxy does not work? If that's the case, you need to submit a 
bug report to Apple. That's a serious issue that only Apple can help you with.

If you are using objects not derived from NSObject nor NSProxy, then change 
your design.

NSProxy checking actually work, but throwing those classes that derive from 
Object class (note I used capitalised O here, the old Object class from early 
NeXT times, also used heavily in OS X kernel, GCD and Mach ports) into the mix 
means that no method can be sent before class is determined. I would suggest 
Apple add one runtime function class_isSubclassOfClass() that mirrors the 
functionality of NSObject and NSProxy method isSubclassOfClass so that 
derivatives of the old Object class can be detected more easily.

 I think you override -(BOOL) allowsVibrancy to return NO to turn off the

I've found a number of circumstances where that doesn't seem to work, but it's 
hard to tell just what's going on because the documentation is so skimpy. I am 
unable to get much that is helpful out of the two WWDC 2014 sessions on 
advanced Yosemite UI, either.

 But I still can’t understand the nitty gritty of this.
 

Wait. In your original posting you wrote this:

 I have a custom view in which I am setting the background using NSRectFill() 
 in drawRect:. I am also adding a text field as subview in this method. The 
 textfield is non-selectable, non-editable and is not set to draw background.

So you were talking about an NSTableView or NSOutlineView all along, NOT a 
custom view? You can't write custom view and really mean table/outline view, 
then expect a coherent response. The two are not in any way equivalent. 
Expecially in Yosemite where all sorts of gratutious non-useful effects have 
been imposed on us to waste processor cycles and give us other pointless 
headaches.

If you are filling the background of a table column using NSRectFill then you 
should simply stop doing that. The view handles its own background drawing. You 
are only responsible for setting up the content of the row vews, and if one of 
those is a custom view (NOT the row view itself, which is assumed to be merely 
a transparent host for the other views within it), then you can paint the 
background, allowing for the new flags and features you need to deal with in 
Yosemite.

The Object class is not used anywhere is OS X. It is deprecated and should have 
been removed from the runtime long time ago. 

The OS X kernel does not even include obj runtime, so it can’t possibly use the 
Object class. Mach port are integer that represent kernel object and not 
classes.

The root class for all OS Object (XPC, GCD, …) is NSObject (which live in the 
runtime too).

If you find subclasses of Object, you are obviously doing something wrong.

I called objc_copyClassList() to get all loaded classes so that I can scan all 
loaded classes for decedents of a certain class, and Object is part of this.

I am using this as the basis of a plugin mechanism, once the plugin bundle is 
loaded it should be detected by the app itself, and the app should not retain 
references to classes of the plugin in long term state to allow seamless plugin 
unloading.
