Does anyone have an example of using NSFileCoordinator to access files under iCloud regimen?
Increasingly, simply trying to open or examine a file , when iCloud has been at it, can cause blocking.
Apple says use FileCoordinator to do it asynchronously, which I confess sounds hideous, but I need to give it a try
(Apple will not allow files to be excluded from iCloud, and the low-key workaround/speedup is to turn off Internet access for a while. This is not great/acceptable)
Only thing I can think of is using MBS plugins but I’ll admit I’ve NOT had to do this with any of my software
TBH I usually grab/read MBS Docs and also read Apples as Apples tends to be more readable
You might even find examples from Apple
Sadly, nothing I can make sense of. I’ll probably have to find a 12 year old to assist.
I tried to watch a Youtube video which enthused that using NSFileController makes everything easy, while at the same time explaining nothing.
I confess I have an allergy to function names that are longer than 15 characters.
By the time a document wants me to use something like
DidExamineTheUndersideOfCrockeryAfterWashingTheDishesWhileListeningToTheRadio I despair.
What I clearly need is :
OpenFileButDontLockProcessesWhileYouGetACopyFromiCloud
Yes Apple style is long names that try to encapsulate the entire explanation in the name
Turn those into MBS functions in Xojo and they can be very long
I’m hoping Christian can come up with a worked example. So far, no responses from anyone who actually uses the functions.
