How to detect a Retina Mac

I just noticed that the program I use to create Png files creates files with twice the number of pixels in each dimension. Obviously because since I last used it, I have switched to a Retina Mac Book. Ok, so I have to fix this program. But: how do I detect that the programm is running on a compu

Converting to Arc → undeclared identifier

What Size My Window?

For an ordinary window one can set in IB "Auto Save Name:" and everything works as expected. I can give it a nice size and position and the next time I open it, all is fine. But if this window is a document, controlled by some NSDocumentController, this Auto Save Name seems to be ingnored

Setting the attributeModDate

I am trying to copy a file using NSFilemanagers copyPath:toPath:handler: method. The (Tiger) documentation says: "File or directory attributes—that is, metadata such as owner and group numbers, file permissions, and modification date—are also copied." Well, the attributeModDate is not. S

Ephemeral Changes

I have a document based Cocoa editor, which handles simple text files (setRichText: NO). It handles undo and font changes. But the files are just plain text files; no font information gets stored. So I would like that the document does NOT get dirty (isDocumentEdited) if only the font h

A Tab after 4 SPACEs

I would like to put an NSLeftTabStopType after every 4 blanks (' ' Unicode: SPACE) into my NSTextField. So I do: NSFont *usedFont = [ layoutManager substituteFontForFont: font ]; float widthOfTab = [usedFont advancementForGlyph:(NSGlyph)' '].width * 4; and so on. Works perfectly for Monaco
