Re: Canceling NSSavePanel Hang App
Hi Sandor,
from the stacks it looks like you’ve Finder Extensions installed on your system. Can you disable / uninstall them and verify if the issue is still reproducible?
Best,

Ran into an interesting issue today…
Mac app
Xcode 9.4.1, 32bit, 10.12 SDK, 10.6 Deployment Target
non-sandboxed app
I am opening an NSSavePanel to allow a user to save the results of a report that is to be generated.
// Creating the save panel
NSSavePanel* savePanel = [NSSavePanel savePanel];
[savePanel setTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Export %@ Summary Data for %@", [self selectedReport], customerName]];
Opening the NSSavePanel using -runModal
savePanelUserAction = [savePanel runModal];
If the user enters a filename and clicks continue the save dialog closes, the report is generated, and the file is written to disk at the selected location.
if (savePanelUserAction == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton)
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(createSummary:) toTarget:self withObject:[[savePanel URL] path]];
If the user clicks cancel, the program hangs. It hangs so badly that I have to go to the System Force-Quit dialog in order to fully terminate the app.
(i.e. Clicking stop program in Xcode does not fully terminate the app)
else
{
// Program hangs
}
I have checked that the NSSavePanel is being opened from the main thread.
I have included interesting backtraces below that are present if I stop the app in the de

Re: Canceling NSSavePanel Hang App
Thanks Sak,
My discovery seemed random and unsettling, so I kept digging. I will read the docs you’re referring to But a sheet does seem to do the trick. What’s weird is this code has worked for years, so it must be some changes to the SDK I am updating to. Sandor

No, I have a non-sandboxed app and it works fine. I think the problem is that you are using NSSavePanel:runModal. If you look in the doc'n, it says:
"This method invokes NSApplication's runModalForWindow ..."
If it's doing that, then you need to cancel the modal yourslef (as with any call of runModalForWindow). Try putting a
[NSApp stopModalWithCode:NSModalResponseCancel];
in your "else" clause.
However, it may be simpler to use a sheet modal: ...setup code... [panel beginSheetModalForWindow:owningWindow completionHandler:^(NSInteger result){ if (result == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton) { self.saveFileURL = [[panel URLs] objectAtIndex:0]; [self writeToFileAtURL:self.saveFileURL]; } } ];
You can spin the writing to a file off to a separate thread if it takes a long time.
Hope this helps,
Sak

Re: Canceling NSSavePanel Hang App
Already reading app sandbox design guide, was hoping for pointers to other apple resources, videos, etc…

Re: Canceling NSSavePanel Hang App
Took a guess and enabled sandbox and added read/write to user selected file and the hang went away. Is it true that I cannot make an unsandboxed app and uses the NSSavePanel? I know this is a data point of one, so I want to be careful what conclusions I draw… any thoughts?
Can anyone shed light/point me in the right direction as to where to update my knowledge?

Well, by default, NWView coordinates are flipped vs. CGContext coordinates. I suggest you try temporarily forcing the point you’re drawing at to be the center of the context or view, and see if the text even appears. If so, you should be able to see what you need to do to transform the point at which you’re drawing (based on which direction the text is running, and whether it’s upside down).
I tried a couple tweaks of the drawing coordinates but I should investigate more.
Also interesting. If I call [NSGraphics currentContext] before trying to set the context it returns nil.
Are you switching over to PDFKit? In that case, you’ll have to respect whatever coordinate system it uses.
Not switching to PDFKit. Just updating deployment target SDK and dealing with deprecations.

The CG implementation of this code has been working with no leaks, crashes, etc for at least 10+ years.
Original context is created as follows:
CGContextRef ctx;
ctx = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL(…)
I tried setting the current NS graphics context like so
[NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:[NSGraphicsContext graphicsContextWithCGContext:ctx flipped:NO]
… but this causes the app to crash.
Any thoughts? Is this an ownership issue? Should I be letting the NSGraphics side of things know not to dispose of the context…
Thanks in advance,
Sandor

Oh interesting - it looks like when you call [NSAlert beginSheetModalForWindow:completionHandler:], the alert gets retained by the parent window's attachedSheet property. So you're right, no issues there either. Now that you've brought it up, I have to say I've never worried about the alert being released too early in my code when I use beginSheetModalForWindow - I never gave it much thought because it just worked.

Just alloc + init + autorelease, then beginSheet…. it works, it has always worked since completion blocks were introduced.
It also works for the -runModal case also, you can autorelease prior to that call and that also doesn’t cause a lifecycle issue.
You can certainly “worry” about extending the lifecycle into the completion block if you want, except the unbalanced release will throw a compiler warning. That in itself shows how unnecessary it is to bother with.
TL;DR: Normal rules apply, stop overthinking this! Just because an NSAlert has some unusual asynchronous lifespan doesn’t mean it needs to be treated any differently from any other object you instantiate.

You're making this far more complicated than it is (talking about running the alert asynchronously, etc).
NSModalResponse choice = [alert runModal];
will run the alert synchronously. Note that it returns a result from this method call, meaning that the call blocks by running its own modal event loop in runModal and only returns after the user has clicked on a button. That means that your autorelease is fine - the scope of this alert is just within the current function, so it'll get cleaned up at the end of the current runloop invocation. That said, you can also just release it manually after you call runModal, like this:
NSAlert *alert = [[NSAlert alloc] init];
alert.messageText = @"Some message or other”;
[alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Create category"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"];
NSModalResponse choice = [alert runModal];
[alert release];
If you were to use [NSAlert beginSheetModalForWindow:completionHandler:], then you'd have to worry about lifecycle of the alert extending beyond the current function context.

The MRR rules are straight forward and deviating from them because the runloop may retain the alert is asking for trouble in my opinion. There is no harm in taking ownership of the alert and releasing/autoreleasing it. I would argue that doing so ensures that any changes in SDK/runtime behavior don’t adversely affect your product. Sandor
That’s exactly what I’m saying - you are taking ownership of it with alloc+init.
Then you release it or autorelease it within the scope of setting it up. Normal rules.
But the point is the alert is run asynchronously, so it has to survive long after the scope of where you instantiated and set it up. Long after the next autorelease drain in fact. But that is someone else's problem - the run-loop’s, I’m supposing.
The alternative is to try to take ownership of it until it is finally and completely dismissed, which requires an unbalanced release in the completion block. This not only flags a warning when you compile, but it’s simply unnecessary. Trying to overthink the ownership rules in this case leads to code that is not only complicated, but redundant. The designers of NSAlert have already taken its lifetime into consideraton, so YOUR ownership of it only lasts as long as it takes to instantiate it, set it up, and ask it to run modally.
Peter’s original code, where he autoreleases as part of alloc + init, works absolutely fine.

The point is, your code follows the normal rules. There’s no special case for NSAlert or other modal dialogs, because internal code behind the scenes makes sure the normal rules apply.
