Bear with me for thinking aloud but I’m still hoping someone has an idea. :-) Using UNNotification in a “real” project, rather than the example I made. Based on some reading, I had the thought to move the running app to the background while a lengthy operation was in progress. Sure enough, the banner “completion" notification displayed properly. With the app in the foreground, I still have to use the aforementioned workaround to changing the notification type (in System Preferences) to “alerts.” So I’m on the right track. But since I am only seeing this on BS, I don’t know whether it’s really my bug.

Thank you to a nice lady (rhymes with Beatrix) who replied privately and set me straight here. Having AppWrapper made it even better. RTFM. :-) So now I can use the debugger to watch my example project work fine, everywhere except Big Sur.

That made a world of difference :-) Working further on the example project, I went in circles for awhile until I finally figured out that, unlike NSUserNotification, UNUserNotificationCenter notifications are only approved from a built and signed (!) app. If there’s a way to code sign for debugging in Xojo, I sure don’t know it. The example app works just fine on Catalina and Mojave. As such I’ve already put this into the code of a couple of my main projects, using SystemInformationMBS.IsMojave to determine which API to use. And they work just fine (including on a High Sierra VM, just to check.) Fine, that is, until we get to Big Sur. In this case, the banners do not display. However, I get success from the event handler, and this is confirmed by looking at the notification history in the Finder (on BS, by tapping on the clock menu item.) The workaround I found was to go to System Preferences>Notifications and change the type from “Banner” to “Alert”. Then the notifications would display—but, of course, now had to be manually dismissed. The funny thing is that I then tried the same workaround with my older stuff that used NSUserNotification, with the same result. The irony is that I’ve changed APIs but gone full circle. Of course, the migration is ultimately good. My example project, including the signed build, is at : https://www.seafortyone.com/beta/UNNotification.zip <https://www.seafortyone.com/beta/UNNotification.zip> Anyone is welcome to look at this, and I hope it is found to be useful.

[MBS] Trying to use UNNotificationMBS
NSUserNotification was deprecated in Mojave, and I am finding it sketchy in Big Sur. I’m therefore experimenting with moving to UNNotificationMBS. In the sample project in progress, I have this code in a button’s Action event (myNotification and myNotificationCenter are declared in Window.Open) myNotification=new UNMutableNotificationContentMBS() myNotification.title=TextField1.Value myNotification.body=TextField2.Value Var myRequest as new UNNotificationRequestMBS(app.ExecutableFile.Name, myNotification,nil) myNotificationCenter.addNotificationRequest(myRequest,nil) https://www.seafortyone.com/beta/NSNotification.zip <https://www.seafortyone.com/beta/NSNotification.zip> At this point I don’t know whether I have something missing, or I’ve run into someone else’s bug.

[MBS] JPEG String to Picture broken on Linux.
Hello, Just installed 20.1. In building cross-platform updates to my project, all was well on Mac and Windows, but on Linux it silently crashed, throwing no exceptions or such. I played with setting breakpoints till I found it was failing when calling JPEGStringtoPictureMBS. This was reproducible by running the StringToJPEG example. Again, a silent crash. I reverted to 20.0; the project (and the example) worked as expected. This was on a Mint Cinnamon 19 VM in Fusion. Thanks.

[MBS] FTP directory listings a year late
Hello, I am running the CURL “FTP directory listing with wildcard” example, with both the current plugins and the current Xojo. At present, the date property in the directory listings consistently show a year of 2017, when they should be 2018. I am seeing this on both my own FTP server, in the midwest US, and that of a client in California. Using a commercial FTP client (Yummy FTP Pro), the listings appear as they should.

Thank you. I tried your example. It works great with FTP. Ironically, that is where I don’t need it for the purposes of this project. Again, my aim is just to get the remote size in advance, so I can tell SFTP to skip, and not try to append, any completed file. For SFTP, curl returns Error 18 (closed with file length remaining). If I take out the wildcard stuff, I get error 0 but blank FileInfo—same with FTP. Now, I have no problem getting the string from OutputData. So after splitting it into an array at the endOfLines (called “Stuff” here, with f as the local file), I can do this: Dim x, u as integer Dim canUpload as Boolean u=ubound(Stuff) For x=0 to u If instr(Stuff(x),f.name)>0 then //exists on server dim s as string=str(f.length) if instr(Stuff(x),s)=0 then //needs appending canUpload=true else //it finished canUpload=False end if exit else //haven’t started it yet canUpload=true end if Next If canUpload=true then //perform else //skip and go to next file in batch End if Now, this actually works in my tests, but I also feel that it would get me a special exhibit at the World Museum of Kludges, and I’m not that desperate to be famous. :-) The other approach is to keep my own log in ApplicationData, and work from that when trying to resume. - "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." -Alfred Hitchcock Jerry Fritschle jerryfritsc...@icloud.com ___ Mbsplugins_monkeybreadsoftware.info mailing list mbsplugins@monkeybreadsoftware.info https://ml01.ispgateway.de/mailman/listinfo/mbsplugins_monkeybreadsoftware.info
Re: [MBS] Resuming uploads with SFTP
I am still at this point: that if I try to rerun an interrupted batch upload with SFTP, it will corrupt any file that is already complete, when it tries to append. So I have thought of a couple of workarounds. One of these was to get a directory listing in advance, parse the sizes, and skip over anything that appears complete (at least in the SFTP branching code, since, again, FTP does not need this.) For this I was going to use FTPparseMBS, which I’ve used in the past. It has been a few years, as most of my need for it went away when I transitioned my FTP operations to libcurl. However, it appears to be gone now. FTParseMBS still appears in the online documentation. However, it is also said to derive from the Network plugin, and if I look there it is not listed. So is this just a case of the documentation needing to be updated? If so, I have another way to do this. > On Nov 17, 2017, at 11:23 AM, Jerry Fritschle <jerryfritsc...@mac.com> wrote: > > What fails is that, unlike FTP, if the file is already complete on the > server, it gets corrupted in the manner described (i.e, becomes an empty > file.) - "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." -Alfred Hitchcock Jerry Fritschle jerryfritsc...@icloud.com ___ Mbsplugins_monkeybreadsoftware.info mailing list mbsplugins@monkeybreadsoftware.info https://ml01.ispgateway.de/mailman/listinfo/mbsplugins_monkeybreadsoftware.info
Re: [MBS] Resuming uploads with SFTP
Okay, in the light of day and being a little fresher, I see what is going on. Under SFTP, the resumption DOES work correctly, and the large test file, intentionally broken, is completed. What fails is that, unlike FTP, if the file is already complete on the server, it gets corrupted in the manner described (i.e, becomes an empty file.) With a batch (i.e, folder) upload, I don’t expect the end user to know exactly where the break occurred. With FTP we can restart the batch, and it simply passes over each completed file till it finds the point left off. Gives me some ideas, and also gives me some incentive to put in a window to read debug data (this particular project is actually pretty new.) Should have done that in the first place :-) On Nov 17, 2017, at 1:54 AM, Christian Schmitz <supp...@monkeybreadsoftware.de> wrote: > > As far as I see in library code, seeking for resume is implemented. > Of course server needs to respond to file size query.

[MBS] Resuming uploads with SFTP
I am working on adding SFTP compatibility to my products that, through CURLSMBS, employ FTP. I am testing against an up-to-date CrushFTP server that I administer myself, which is accessible from the internet. For my needs, I have worked everything out except for successfully being able to resume broken uploads. Under regular FTP all is well, but trying it with SFTP results in the remote files being corrupted, with a byte count of 0. The ability to resume is important, because my apps are primarily for moving large image files. I’m interested in the security angle for files that may contain personal information. From what I’m gathering about SFTP, I am wondering whether this is even possible with libcurl. It is my understanding that its SFTP command vocabulary is relatively basic and limited. Using built-in SFTP in the terminal, I am successful with the “reput” command. So calling that from a shell, on Mac at least, is a possibility. I appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in this. I can also create an account on my server for anyone who wants to play. But I mainly just want to know whether it can be done via the CURL plugin before I spend any more time on it. Thanks.

Re: [MBS] JPEGStringtoPictureMBS broken on Linux?
In the Mac IDE, this worked perfectly as expected. On both my Linux virtual machines (Ubuntu 64 bit and Xubuntu 32-bit), I got an empty window with “0” in the title bar. It turned out that I had incorrectly assumed that GTK+3 was present in the Linux machines, so I installed. This turned out not to be enough.

[MBS] JPEGStringtoPictureMBS broken on Linux?
On Xojo 2017 1.1 and 17.3 plugins, this works on all platforms, where s was saved as a jpeg string. thePicture=JPEGStringtoPictureMBS(s, true) On Xojo 2017 2.1 and 17.4 plugins, the code fails with a nilObjectException (thePicture is nil), but only on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 in VirtualBox.).
