I'm writing an app that should remain visible on the desktop at all times. As such, I have to prevent other apps' windows moving on top of my app's window. The Dock.app from Mac OS X partially does this: if you resize windows, they won't resize into the Dock.app's screen space, and if you hit the windows' '+' button, the window will not...

I am running a background process on Mac and have a problem with log update. If I run someprog > mylog & then mylog is updated not immediately, but with some intervals - I guess it's due to buffering. Same thing with at now. If I kill the program before output is written to mylog, then I loose the data. There was no such problem with ...

I'm in the process of porting some code from Linux to Mac OS X. The code is a static library that you add to your code. Basically after you compile the code you get a MyLib.a that can be linked to whatever project you want. I'm managing the "project" via a Makefile. Is there a way to have a project on Xcode that ultimately produces the ...

In a quicklook preview panel, there is a line along the bottom that normally displays a 'Full Screen' button enabling full screen. If you open a file with a JPEG or other iPhoto supported image, there is also an 'Add to iPhoto' button here. Looking through the apple docs I see no reference to how to add things to this panel, so I am gue...

I'm familiar with objective-git, but if I'm reading it correctly, it is for interaction with a local repository.

I was planning on writing a small daemon that detected whether another app crashed, thinking all the while that the system would send an NSWorkspaceDidTerminateApplicationNotification, but this is not the case.
