As part of an i18n project, I need to extract strings from a NIB file programmatically. This can be done quite easily with ibtool, of course. But this is a cross-platform product, of which the NIB is only part. It would be nice if we didn't have to lock string extraction to a particular machine, or have to kludge together catalog-merg...

I'm trying to re-write an application I have for Windows in Objective-C for my Mac, and I want to be able to do something like Mac's hot corners. If I move my mouse to the left side of the screen it will make a window visible, if I move it outside of the window location the window will hide again. (window would be pushed up to the left s...
Basically, I want to figure out if it's the next day. So, I'm storing the current date (e.g. Jan 2) constantly in a plist. But the next time the user opens the application, if the date has changed (e.g. Jan 3), I want to do something. Note that a simple ascending order check wouldn't work because I don't want to know if one date is later...

It's hard to find Mac-specific answers to this question on the web, so I'm hoping someone out there can put this one to rest for me? My permissions are screwed up on my sites and I'm not sure how to fix them without just slamming a recursive 777 on everything which is quite obviously incorrect. Thanks! ...
Hello, I am trying to create an application that when the color of a pixel on screen changes to another one (that I know what it is) it does something, doesn't really matter to the question what it does. Anyway, I am using this: CGImageRef window283x420 = CGWindowListCreateImage(NSMakeRect(284, 420, 1, 1), kCGWindowListOptionOnScreen...
