Someone directed me to this link when I asked for this information. I haven't had a chance to try it yet but it looks like it could work. It seems to be some sort of cocoa wrappe…

I might've misunderstood the question, but for your localized nib, make sure you put it in a French.lproj folder, and call it MainMenu.nib

Angus, The localized nib file is where it is supposed to be. All things are OK, except the menubar items name. I always have "AppName" File Edit Window Help Nor in English.lproj,…

I have found a way to correct the problem, however, it should be a bug that corrupts the nib file or Idontknowwhat. If I create another File menu submenu into the Edit menu for exe…

I think you're probably going to have to do that, yeah, but you should probably use Carbon's Process Manager or sysctl to determine if it's running or not. I think that's a nicer s…

sysctl sounds fine, thanks for the tip. sounds feasable after having read some documentation.

By the magic of class-dump (see fink), add this to your source somewhere: @interface ScreenSaverController:NSObject <ScreenSaverControl> { NSConnection *_connect…

woohoo, sounds great! but... i'm sorry, i've never used any class-dumps in my own source code before... it complains it cannot find the protocol declaraction for "screensavercontr…

You haven't declared the ScreenSaverControl protocol in any headers, but referred to it in the declaration for ScreenSaverController, so the compiler is getting confused. You don't…

thanks to both of you, guys! i know why i love these forums and i know why i love cocoa! awesome!

Is there a programmatic method for enabling/disabling the password protection feature of the screen saver?

Must be an older version of ar. Typically on MacOS X, the libtool -static command is used to create libraries, and it automatically updates the table of contents so ranlib is not …

I know I've read about this problem over in the Mac OS X Developer forums. So be sure to search for it there. I'm going to move this over to the Mac OS X Developer forum. Click …

I have the same problem, so I am dead-in-the-water now. Quote: Originally posted by sinful@pagans.net: When I click install from within the installer, I get the follo…

originally, I downloaded it with the OSX IE, and had the bom problem. I re-downloaded it with the OS9 IE and subsequently had no problems. Also, I have OSX on a pure UNIX drive, …

I had the same problem and it was caused by Stuffit. I havn't tried the new version but the version shipped with osx couldn't unpack it correctly. If you looked at the size of the …

Assuming you want to store per-user settings for your app, this is very easy. The bundle identifier is set in the CFBundleIdentifier key in the Info.plist file, which is part of y…

Thanks, that really helped. So now I know how to write and read preferences. Now I have another pretty fundamental question, how do I "catch" events? Let's say I want to save my pr…

Sorry? Not available? Stuffit deluxe has the capability to segment files already for years. I've used this function extensively back in the floppy disk era to copy a 5 Mb file ont…

The hjspilt-files are all over the web. compatibility would be good.

I did some looking through the manpages. OSX does in fact have a split command that seems to do what you want. I don't know if it's compatible with HJSplit, though. Type man split …

the best would be to have a new Windows app that support the format of the OS X command and old hjsplit-files aswell -IF they differ- while new files would be saved in the most com…

If there were to be a crossplatform standard, I would think it would be the one provided by the Unix splitcommand (which, again, OSX handles through its own implementation of that …

Unfortunately, some of the same code and frameworks uses the DP4 versions and do not build properly. BlastApp is one of these. I have tried to build it a few times with no luck. I …
