The desire here is to call a Drupal path when email is received on a specific email account. The email in question contains a zipped archive of images that we want to import into Drupal.

Just a few notes on my own screencasting efforts.

My KosmicTask screencast is intended to be a marketing and promotional aid as well as providing a user level introduction to the application. As such I want the finished screencast to be produced to a reasonably high standard.

MacWorld has given a very positive review of KosmicQuitter.

A category on NSEvent suitable for NSEvent time stamping.

When tracking GC memory usage it is essential to be able to examine the heap object graph. That's where Instruments comes in.

I want to detect mouse down events in the subviews of an NSView so that I can highlight the NSView whenever any of its subviews are clicked.

The first thing we need is to build a list of the window subviews that want to be informed whenever one their subviews is clicked. We we are going to need an NSWindow subclass, say MGSMyWindow.

@interface MGSMyWindow : NSWindow {
	NSHashTable *_clickViews;
}

- (void)addClickView:(NSView *)aView;
@end

The use of NSHashTable indicates that garbage collection is required.

We initialise our window like so:

My NSTextView find panel buttons are dimmed and I don't know why.

The Cocoa NSTextView docs refer to dimmed find panel buttons if the text view is made not selectable. But that isn't the case. My text view is both editable and selectable.

I have been implementing my applications menu and toolbar validation code so I suspect that have misrouted something in the responder chain.

Wanting to provide networked Time Machine backups for a number of macs I decide to try the Iomega StorCenter ix2-200d. This has a wide feature set and a low entry price. Of course, you can build your self a FreeNAS based system that will offer much of the same functionality but the automatic support for Time Machine is what did it for me.

The next release of KosmicTask will be Beta 2 which should arrive before Christmas.

23 issues have dealt with according to the issue tracker with 6 remaining that target Beta 2.

Main improvements in Beta 2 will be a completed application menu, improved editing, improved memory usage and lots of GUI fixes. Task result saving is correctly implemented. Fixed a hard to isolate reconnection issue when stopping and starting multiple network instances.

Beta 2 should be feature and implementation complete.
