Hi, is there a way to have Xcode append a closing bracket ")" when I type the opening one "("? I know that it does this for those {}. I really miss Textmate :( A generic way to define which chars should be automatically inserted when the opening ones are entered would be kickass. ...
I would like to know if this is really helpful to have experience with Macs on the job market for developers with B.Sc.. I have been using Windows and Linux since the start of undergrads and I'm pretty good with those in coding/using/configurating. So, I feel like it may be helpful to buy a Mac and get some little Iphone/Mac dev experien...
Apple introduced Grand Central Dispatch (a thread pool) in Snow Leopard, but haven't gone into why one should use it over OpenMP, which is cross-platform and also works on Leopard. They're both pretty easy to use and look similar in capability. So, any ideas? ...
I want to write a simple application like the "stardict" (but not so huge), that searches for the phrase in the dictionary and provides the corresponding value. I guess that it is kind of "bicycle" and that it was done many times by different people... But the thing is that all the suitable open software, that is available in the web ...
Hi all, I have a .sql file containing many CREATE TABLE statements. There's no referential specification (MyISAM stuff) but I would enjoy to create different table boxes, and then compose the table relationships by hand. I am using a mac. Is there a free program to do this ? ...
Hi, I've been trying to get NSServices working for my application recently with no success. I have set it up according to the documentation but it does not appear in the services menu ( however it does appear in the keyboard shortcuts section of the System Preferences as a service menu item) Anyway I set the service in my app controller...
I have an AIR application running on Mac OS X. The application sometimes pops up little toaster windows to indicate certain events. The problem I have is that when a user "hides" the application (cmd-h on Mac), those toaster windows cause all windows in the application to come to the foreground. I'm opening the toaster window without ...

I understand the major benefits of being able to build a 64-bit application on Mac OS X: more memory available, better performance, etc. But what if I have an app with modest memory needs and no performance concerns. Let's assume that porting it to 64-bit is simply a matter of changing the build settings. Would making a 64-bit executa...
I am looking for information regarding support for QTJava on the latest Mac OS, 10.6. An application we are developing that worked fine both on 10.4 and 10.5 is now getting unexpected crashes on load when ran on 10.6. In the past we have had to strip out the 64bit architecture from the Java application stub because the QuickTime libr...

I want to create a diagram that shows how my app works. Not a class diagram. Don't know the word. Just a nonscientific, simple diagram that helps keeping track of what happens when user does something, i.e. press a button or delete something. Flow thing maybe. You may know how it's called. Basically, I just need some boxes where I can p...
My software is written in Qt 4.4.2 using XCode on Mac OS X 10.5. It runs fine on Mac OS X 10.5. But when it is run on Mac OS X 10.6 it shows some strange visual artefacts when drawing the drop-down menus of QComboBoxes. Apparently it affects every QComboBox. 4 people with Mac OS X 10.6 who have tried it have reported the same behaviour,...
I'm trying to debug an objective C program. It used to run, and I'm not sure what changes could have broken it, but it no longer runs at all. In the debugger, I now get: . . . unable to read unknown load command 0x80000022 unable to read unknown load command 0x80000022 unable to read unknown load command 0x80000022 Program loaded. share...
I am just about done writing a killer application for the mac, however I would like to charge money for this one, as there isn't a lot of applications out there like this one. So I was thinking of using some sort of activation or license key. I've looked around but details on how to do it is relatively scarce. How can I do this in a wa...
I have to develop a dashboard widget for Mac Osx to support 32/64 bit systems. This looks to me that there is nothing else to do if the widget does not use any programmed plugin, just HTML, JS & CSS. Is this correct? Just need to be sure. Thanks a lot, Leonardo ...
Looking for a good guide/ tutorial to begin Mac OS X app development, preferably using Cocoa and a language other than Objective C. And maybe some tutorials for interface builder as well? ...
So this may sound like a really stupid question and I HAVE looked at the how-to from the parent website, but no matter what I do, I cannot get this program to even start to install... I tried entering: cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/class-dump which returned a "this file/director doesnt exist" error, so i tried to get to it fol...
Hi, it appears that the Apple site now only provides download for XCode 3.2, that is the Snow Leopard version. I'm running Leopard, and the installation doesn't work. Where to find previous versions? Thanks ...
