NSAttributedString fill with gradient
I've tried setting the gradient as NSForegroundColorAttributeName in the attributes dictionary when creating the string but as I expected that didn't work. How would I go about filling the string with a gradient? Thanks! --Chris ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

NSOperationQueue for NSXMLParser object
Let me start with what I'm trying to accomplish. I have an app that
is constantly running an animation, which's attributes are determined
after downloading and parsing some XML. The XML is parsed at a given
interval using an NSTimer. As expected, sometimes when the XML is
being parsed the animation stalls. I've determined that I'll need to
do the parsing on a separate thread from the main thread (Unless there
is a better solution?).
I'm running into some problems using NSOperation with a NSTimer. Here
are some portions of the code:
//From the App delegate
//create a timer to parse the XML
self.timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 2
target: self
selector: @selector(parseXML:)
userInfo: nil
repeats: YES];
//Parse the XML
- (void) parseXML:(NSTimer *)timer {
XMLParser *parser = [[XMLParser alloc] initWithURL:@Location of the
XML delegate:self];
[queue addOperation:parser];
[parser release]; //this is where my problem is
}
XMLParser is a subclass of NSOperation, here is some of that class.
- (void)main {
[self startParsing]; //this method starts the parsing
}
When the parsing is complete, I use this code to send the result
back to the delegate object:
//sends the result back to the delegate
if ( [delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(status:)] ) {
[delegate status:self.result];
}
This code works, as long as I don't release the parser object after
this:
[queue addOperation:parser];
[parser release];
However, if I don't release the Parser object, the app leaks like
crazy, since it's creating new Parser objects on each fire of the
timer. When I release the parser, the second fire the app terminates:
Program received signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”..
Thank you for any advice!

NSURLRequest- setHTTPMethod to REPORT

Move a NSTableView
Hello, I'm trying to shift a NSTableView down when the user is searching (using a NSSearchField) to display a custom view with some filtering options (like when you do a Finder search). Then hiding the custom view when the user is not searching. My problem is how exactly to move the table view down. I tried getting the frame of the table view's enclosed NSScrollView and then I was quite sure what method to use (probably something in Core Graphics right?) to move it down.

Thanks for reply Kyle. The app restores a user's user folder and needs to recreate that folder within the /Users directory. Is there an easier way to accomplish this then having to use the Authorization services C library?

Re: Output of NSHTTPCookieStorage to NSTableView
Again thank you for the reply. Thanks to the column identifier, I am able to see data in the table view! However, when I attempt to click on a row or scroll down I receive an error in the console. -[NSURL objectAtIndex:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10edd0 I've tried with different column identifiers (name, value, created, etc.) and no luck. Am I not returning the cookie correctly, should I returning them as specific types of data, like you noted in your first reply? How would I return domain for example? Thank you!

What type of NSCell do you have set for the column (looks like you
only have a single column)? It is a specialized NSCell subclass that
knows how to display an instance NSHTTPCookie? If not this isn't going
to work as coded.
NSHTTPCookie isn't a string, number, image, etc. so one of the
standard cell subclasses wont know what to do with it. You either need
a custom cell subclass that can display it the way you want it
displayed or you will have to convert the NSHTTPCookie instance into a
form that a standard cell can handle (maybe an NSString).

For instance, if the column shows URLs, then you should get the URL of the cookie and return its absoluteString.
