My installer places a file into /Library/Application Support/AppName.

If it exists, I download it and then attempt to overwrite the one created by the installer. The issue is that I apparently don't have ...

I'm using Matt Gemmell's MAAttachedWindow (http://mattgemmell.com/source) with an NSStatusItem to display a custom view in the menu bar. I'm confused as to how to get it to fade in and fade out. Normally I'd do something like this: [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]; [[window animator] setAlphaValue:1.0]; and to fade out: [[window an...
I've got an attributed string bound to a NSTextView. I'm using a method that is called (using KVO) every time the string is edited to add background color attributes to string based on a regEx match.

And then when an ima...
