Here's my C method to get the pid of the Finder process. GetProcessInformation() is causing a segfault. Why? Here's the function: static OSStatus GetFinderPID(pid_t *pid) { ProcessSerialNumber psn = {kNoProcess, kNoProcess}; ProcessInfoRec info; OSStatus status = noErr; info.processInfoLength = sizeof(ProcessInfoRec); ...

Where do you enable the option (if there's any) to automatically sort and line up the icons in a finder window, when you resize it? I have the default Windows' behaviour in mind where the icons take all the available...

I am writing my own MVC for the purpose of learning it. I have pretty much everything "down-pat" and my main stuff written besides models due to some trouble understanding them and lack of viable examples. Now, I've been told a model should reprecent a single row, someone told me, your model class should on update/insert and delete rows...
What really surprises me is lack of some essential functionality in Finder, when one migrates from Windows to OS X. One of the things is a possibility to open an archive as a folder, i.e. staying in the directory tree and being able to drag and drop files from the archive to folders in the tree, sidebar etc. What would you do to enable ...
I'm relatively new to OSX programming (i.e. really new) and I find myself in need of creating a Contextual Menu that ties into Finder. From what I've read here as well as online, this is only possible through the use of Services in Snow Leopard. I found the Apple Developer guide at Apple Services Implementation Guide But it's not suffi...
I have created an application that is capable of playing audio files. This in itself works fine, and so does drag&drop from finder to my application. What I would like as well, is that people can use my application from Finder using the Open With menu (or even allow them to set my application as default for a certain file type) After a...
Hi Everyone: By default (it seems), IKImageBrowserView enables drag and drop to locations in the Finder. I would like to turn off this behavior but am unsure of how to do so. I was thinking that perhaps implementing the NSDraggingDestination protocol and overriding it could solve this, but so far it hasn't worked for me. Thanks for a...

There is a lot of talk about how to exclude, ignore, or delete .DS_Store files on macs. It seems these small files contain data about folders that is used by Finder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store https://wiki.mozilla.org/DS_Store_File_Format Has this information ever been put to use by a third party program? ...
Hi, My problem should be obvious, but I just don't see the light right now :-( I have two domainclasses like this: class Parent { String name static hasMany = [children: Child] } class Child { String name } Now I should be able to find the Parent of a child by using the dynamic finder of the Parent like: Parent.findByChild...
is it possible to specify a Finder item by its path? e.g. I want to refresh the icon of a single item. So far, to do this, I call update on every item of the front window: tell application "Finder" to update every item in front window But this only works if the folder currently has the item. Is it possible to specify an item with its ...
Given this object is SELECT input which name = "record[exp_items][1279485786799][batch]" and I want to find all fields in "record[exp_items][1279485786799]" artificial hash and serialize them.

Apparently, for Cocoa applications, you're supposed to implement [[NSApp delegate] application:openFile:] or something like that to allow your application to open files double clicked in Finder. How do you achieve this functionality using Qt, as the name of the file to be opened is not passed on the command line? ...
