Memory optimization of NSAttributedString

My app uses lots of attributed strings in “subdocuments” which get moved into and out of a text edit window. I began to wonder if I needed to add a cache for paragraph styles and string attributes, because when each subdocument gets loaded, I’m repetitively deserializing identical attributes

Programmatically putting attributed string RTF on the pasteboard

I’m having a bit of difficulty learning how to use the pasteboard. I have a text view which holds the text in a rich attributed string. I determined that the built-in methods for cutting and pasting were screwing up my data because not all attributes survive the cut-and-paste process’s

Re: NSTextView Copy-and-Paste Problem

Thanks, Martin. The docs say you can put anything you want into the attributes dictionary—without mentioning that cutting and pasting will screw it all up. But it makes sense why, if cutting and pasting involves a translation into some non-native format. I’ll try to learn how to override

NSTextView Copy-and-Paste Problem

I’m having problems with text attributes getting mangled by copy-and-paste operations within the selfsame text view. Obviously text pasted in from outside the app would have an unpredictable set of attributes, but you’d think copying and pasting in the same text view would leave you with a

Convert CGFloat to NSNumber

I’m surprised how painful it is to do trivial things in Swift. All I want to do is convert NSFont.pointSize to an NSNumber, but I can’t figure out any syntax the Swift compiler will accept. My latest fruitless attempt has involved trying to simply cast the value into something for which

Package/folder confusion

I’ve got a goofy issue that’s been with me for a while, but I had more important things to work on. Months ago, members of this list told me how to set up my project so the document would be stored as a package. I tried it, it worked, and all was great. But at that time I was developing

Idea for Improving Vibrancy

I have an idea for improving vibrancy, but right now it’s just a thought experiment. I don’t know how to accomplish it, so I wonder if you guys could provide any advice. I just posted this suggestion to Apple’s OS X feedback site: Please consider adding NSVisualEffectBlendingModeDesktop and
