Issue #822 Get active screen with mouse func activeScreen() -> NSScreen? { let mouseLocation = NSEvent.mouseLocation let screens = NSScreen.screens let screenWithMouse = (screens.first { NSMouseInRect(mouseLocation, $0.frame, false) }) return screenWithMouse } Reposition our NSWIndow if window.frame != screen.frame { window.setFrameOrigin(screen.frame.origin) window.setContentSize(screen.frame.size) } Flip y as AppKit has coordinate origin starting from bottom left of the screen, while our SwiftUI starts from top left var point = window.convertPoint(fromScreen: event.locationInWindow) point.y = window....

Issue #806 Use runModal https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplication/1428590-runmodalsession Blocks main queue A loop that uses this method is similar in some ways to a modal event loop run with runModal(for:), except with this method your code can do some additional work between method invocations. When you invoke this method, events for the NSWindow object of this session are dispatched as normal. This method returns when there are no more events. You must invoke this method frequently enough in your loop that the window remains responsive to events....

Issue #795 extension NSImage { func resize(width: CGFloat, height: CGFloat, padding: CGFloat) -> NSImage { let img = NSImage(size: CGSize(width: width, height: height)) img.lockFocus() let ctx = NSGraphicsContext.current ctx?.imageInterpolation = .high self.draw( in: NSMakeRect(0, 0, width, height), from: NSMakeRect(0, -padding, size.width, size.height - padding), operation: .copy, fraction: 1 ) img.unlockFocus() return img } } So we can use like button.image = NSImage(named: NSImage.Name("pastePal"))?.resize(width: 22, height: 22, padding: -4)

I’ve quickly come to realize the importance of trials since many have requested a tryout before purchasing. Manual sending out trials comes with its own problem. I need to notarize and package the app as a dmg file, and not to even mention implement my own trial mechanism to check and notify of expired builds....

Issue #789 Using WindowGroup New in SwiftUI 2.0 for iOS 14 and macOS 11.0 is WindwGroup which is used in App protocol. WindowGroup is ideal for document based applications where you can open multiple windows for different content or files. For example if you’re developing a text editor or drawing apps, you can show multiple windows for different text file or drawing. All is handled automatically for you if you use WindowGroup...

Issue #785 Core Data Responding to changes in a managed object context Calling mergeChanges on a managed object context will automatically refresh any managed objects that have changed. This ensures that your context always contains all the latest information. Note that you don’t have to call mergeChanges on a viewContext when you set its automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent property to true. In that case, Core Data will handle the merge on your behalf....
