It does seem absurd that the most fundamental APIs — the C standard library and POSIX/Darwin system calls — aren’t supported by Xcode’s documentation features. Especially since the header

I’ve been happy with Acorn for those purposes for years. The documentation is great too. https://flyingmeat.com Jim Crate

Try canva.com. They have a reasonable free account for graphics editing online, apparently they have an iOS app too, although I've never tried that. Sandor

Um... I might just write code to do that. The 'hardest' thing is probably to get text positioning right. For general image manipulation I use Pixelmator. I like it but I wouldn't exactly call it

How about Gimp?

Hi, Can anyone recommend a light weight Image Creation and Editing App for the Mac? I’d like to be able to create images with fixed dimensions and background colour and be able to resize

Hi all, At the moment I am saving tiff files in a one-liner using [[myNSImage TIFFRepresentation] writeToFile:atomically:]. I am considering a change to write rather large multi-page tiff files

Look at fcntl() (man fcntl). It has an operation parameter of F_SETNOSIGPIPE and F_GETNOSIGPIPE to manage the SIGPIPE signal handling on a file descriptor. Won’t find it in the Xcode

A broken pipe usually means that one end of the connection has been closed for one reason or another. You don’t show the actual read and write code, but that is most likely where the problem occurs.

Well, this is so far a blind alley. I can’t find any mention of functions called signal() or ioctl() in the current (Xcode 8) documentation browser. But then, it seems we’ve lost the ability to

OK, makes (some) sense, thanks. I’m wondering why the file descriptor would be ‘closed at the other end’ though - does that mean one of us (the command line tool is not my code but I am

Before running your app open the Console app and put the process name of your app in the search bar. The run your app. I believe you'll see your output. It seems with the new log system is you

For some reason lost in ancient Unix history, if you write to a file-descriptor that’s been closed at the other end, a SIGPIPE signal is raised. This will by default kill your process. It’s

Hi, I’m using NSTask to ‘talk to’ a command line executable that is embedded in my app. I use NSPipe as its stdIn and stdOut channels. When I run the code under Xcode, it works fine. When I

Ah, hidden in plain sight! Thanks G.

The Foundation function NSFullUserName(). -- Shane Stanley <sstanley@...> <www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/>, <latenightsw.com>

10.12 added a method to NSProcessInfo, -fullUserName. How do I get the same info on earlier OS? —Graham

Thanks to all who responded! In my Xcode project, the yellow group “folder” icons in the navigator pane closely resemble the folder structure of my project. And I do not use git or

On the right side of the project in one of the inspectors, there is a means of specifying the path to the item selected and how it is defined. Relative to Group, Relative to Project, Absolute Path,
