I have a JUnit test that tests adding Strings to a Dictionary custom type. Everything works fine for everyone else on a Linux/Windows machine, however, being the first dev in my shop on a mac, this unit test fails for me. The offending lines are where unicode string literals are used: dict.add( "Su字/会意pin", "Su字/会意pin" ); dict...
I am working on a cocoa software and in order to keep the GUI responsive during a massive data import (Core Data) I need to run the import outside the main thread. Is it safe to access those objects even if I created them in the main thread without using locks if I don't explicitly access those objects while the thread is running. ...
I want to dynamically hide/show some of the columns in a NSTableView, based on the data that is going to be displayed - basically, if a column is empty I'd like the column to be hidden. I'm currently populating the table with a controller class as the delegate for the table. Any ideas? I see that I can set the column hidden in Interface...
I have a script for OS X 10.5 that focuses the Search box in the Help menu of any application. I have it on a key combination and, much like Spotlight, I want it to toggle when I run the script. So, I want to detect if the search box is already focused for typing, and if so, type Esc instead of clicking the Help menu. Here is the scri...
In OS X, in order to quickly get at menu items from the keyboard, I want to be able to type a key combination, have it run a script, and have the script focus the Search field in the Help menu. It should work just like the key combination for Spotlight, so if I run it again, it should dismiss the menu. I can run the script with Quicksi...

If I attempt to connect to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard's built in vnc server at a low color depth from Windows, the client bombs after connecting. It only works when I set it to the highest color depth. I've tried with at least 3 windows VNC clients. Any ideas? There some setting I can set in Mac OS X? It takes about 20 seconds to repaint the...
I'm trying to have the same KDE Konsole experience within Mac OS X. Here's my (overly complicated?) setup: I have Control and Command swapped at the System Preferences level. (Can't live without this) Parallels lets you, at the Parallels application level, also reverse Control and Command. So I can undo the System Preferences settin...

Apple's CoreGraphics library defines two functions for describing an arc. CGPathAddArc adds an arc based on a center point, radius, and pair of angles. CGPathAddArcToPoint adds an arc based on a radius and a pair of tangent lines. The details are explained in the CGPath API reference. Why two functions? Simple convenience? Is one ...

I have tried: Xdebug and Eclipse. Eclipse launches a web browser, but the browser tries to access a non-existent file in Eclipse's .app bundle. Xdebug and NetBeans. It does a little bit better; a browser opens a page in /tmp which says "Launching. Please wait…" but nothing happens beyond that. Xdebug and debugclient, the CLI tool which...
How do you create a hardlink (as opposed to a symlink or a Mac OS alias) in OS X that points to a directory? I already know the command "ln target destination" but that only works when the target is a file. I know that Mac OS, unlike other Unix environments, does allow hardlinking to folders (this is used for Time Machine, for example) b...
