Started by schwa · 10 months ago

Here is a sub-class of NSProgressindicator that implements the pie-chart style as seen in Xcode and Mail. This is similar to the spinning progress indicator (formerly the chasing tails indicator) but can be used for those hard to reach stains that need determinate indicators. Heady stuff I know. ...

  • Thanks again, Jon! This is awesome. I think it looks especially nice when the fill and frame colors are the same hue at different intensities.

    Surely that should say “determinate”?
  • Well spotted.
  • Point taken. Hopefully the new "pseudo-captcha" I've installed will work better next time around.
  • Hi;

    i really like your pie spinny; not sure why Apple doesn't include Mail's pie and other IB features in IB...

    Here's the thing: i'm trying to access your pie after pulling it off the pallette and setting it to spinner / determinate.

    I want to access it in AppleScript though; I'm a beginner so i'm not sure *what* to ask for / a snippet of code perhaps?

    I'm trying: start progress indicator "tpie" of window 1 which works for spinners and progress bars; i guess with the definate nature i need to increment or something (count...progress...finish)

    Foob
  • Yeah no clue how it will work when accessed via AppleScript. Good luck and let me know what you find.
