Hi
So, basiclly, I have finished my first App.
It’s working and I am kinda proud (after all, it my first nativ Mac OS X app with GUI).
As said it’s working, but it’s not yet top notch.
For instance there is no help file yet (though no problem, i’ve read the polishing tutorials on this forum), it is not localized (again, I don’t need this since the app will only be used by about 20 persons), and it’s missing some stuff.
Now I have some minor questions which are more or less just make-up and not 100-% mandatory for the application to work, but nonetheless worth the effort to implement.
I already tried using the search and google, found some topics, but neither of them had an answer or solution.
My first problem is that i have a login-form (username, passwort, “login”-button) in a custom view.
The login works fine when one clicks on the “login” button, but I’d love to be able to click the button by clicking the enter key on the keyboard (so after entering the passwort you can click enter instead of moving the mouse to the button).
I guess it would be possible to use the key-down listener and determine when the enter-key is pressed, but before i implement this solution, i wanted to know, if it is possible somehow easier.
Second glitch is, when someone drops files on the “droppable area” the script opens a panel (open panel attached to…), and immediately the icon starts bouncing in the dock, this is kind of annoying since there is nothing the user has to do after dropping the items off.
Any way to disable that bouncing icon?
third, when I check out some stuff in Xcode, I sometimes see text fields with strings like ${EXECUTION_NAME} or such. these look to me like variables and i’m not sure what they’re supposed to be replaced with.
Should i replace the text right in the text fields, or are all these variables somewhere defined?
and about the final act, the “release”-build, what settings should I use so that the application can be executed on G4 10.4 and intel 10.6?
Thanks a lot for everything and i hope my english is clear enough to understand the questions
