So, once you have a build from source, how do you build a standalone .app on the Mac? build/tk/ contains all the necessary pieces, but I’m not sure where they should all go. It would seem that the frameworks need to inside the .app bundle, but Wish.app itself is a symlink into Tk.framework. Seems there’s a lot of recursion here, and I’m not sure how to unravel this snake. :) Damon |

I had already read through your tutorial, but it didn’t have what I needed. The ‘make embedded’ is what I was looking for. :) Now, for another one. I’ve created the ::tk::mac::OpenDocument proc in my app, and it opens files properly when I right-click and open with the application, but my app is not responding to drag-and-drop events. I can’t drop a file on the app, and the Tk docs seem to imply that you can. Does that still work? I’m using the latest Tk tip, so I should be using the new Cocoa stuff (though I’m not sure how I would know).

You may need to read Apple's docs about configuring the info.plist file to identify the document types your app can handle.

I tweaked the Info.plist file, and I’m pretty sure it’s right. Does this work for anyone?

You can drop files on the Dock icon, and that works, but the docs indicate that you can drop files onto the application itself. That’s not what I’m seeing, so I was curious if someone had this working.

Looks like I need tkdnd, which is fine, I must have just misinterpreted the docs. If the behavior you are looking for is to have the app respond when you drag the file to the app window, you are correct--that is tkdnd. I understood you to be asking about dropping the file on the app icon in Finder (not Dock), sorry if I misunderstood. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin/Mobile Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com http://www.wtmobilesoftware.com |

I see that FileMorph works, so it’s got to be something in my Info.plist that’s not allowing it. I just can’t figure out what it is. I can’t determine the magic voodoo incantation to make my app accept a given filetype. :) I guess I’ll keep plugging away at it. Thanks for the help.

So, just as a test, I stole FileMorph’s Info.plist file and dropped it into mine and just replaced the executable name to call my own. So, presumably, all the filetype declarations and everything else are exactly the same. I know I can drop files into FileMorph, and it works. But even with the same Info.plist file, I can’t drop them onto my app. What version of Wish does FileMorph ship with? Could this be related to the new Tk Cocoa? I know it’s tiring answering seemingly stupid questions, but I’m just trying to figure this out.

Dear Damon,
> I tweaked the Info.plist file, and I’m pretty sure it’s right.
In my Info.plist I have the following lines, embedded in the larger xml
structure, to say it will try to open anything.
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array><string>*</string></array>
The operating system appears to have some memory of previous values for
the CFBundleTypeExtension, however, so that when I change it from "*" to
"yyy" it still lets me open "txt" files. I seem to recall having to
re-start the finder to get the changes to be accepted.
> I have it working just fine in an a couple of my apps.
Here is an example open document procedure declaration.
proc tk::mac::OpenDocument {args} {
puts "$args"
}
I believe these are the only two steps I had to take with a Wish shell
compiled with "make embedded" from 8.5.8 sources, and I can open
documents by dropping on the icon in MacOS 10.7.5. I want to re-compile
and make sure a clean application with these two steps will work, but
I'm having some technical problems with the compile (don't have
/Developer/Tools/Rez) so will be delayed.
Yours, Kevan

I seem to recall having to re-start the finder to get the changes to be accepted. I thought that was all I had to do. In my case I’m using .epub files, but I used a bunch of different combinations to try and find the right magic string, and I still can’t get anything to drop. If I right-click the file, I can Open it with my app (it shows up in the list registered for the .epub file extension). But I still can’t just drop a file on the running app. I’m still looking at it though. :) Damon |

Just more information. Even the base Wish.app defines .tcl as an extension it accepts, and I can’t drop a .tcl file onto it. I also went back and built 8.5.18 and tried, and it’s not working there either. This is all on Yosemite, by the way.

Ok, this was my misunderstanding then. The docs say this for ::tk::mac::OpenDocument: If a proc of this name is defined it is the default Apple Event handler for kAEOpenDocuments, “odoc”, the Apple Event sent when your application is asked to open one or more documents (e.g., by drag & drop onto the app or by opening a document of a type associated to the app). The proc should take as arguments paths to the files to be opened, like so: It was the “by drag & drop onto the app” that got me.
