#15913: ui_init modifications patch for macports.tcl ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: armahg@macports.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base enhancements Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by armahg@macports.org): Hi again, I am wondering if this patch can now be applied? At least one dev has been playing around with the Framework so far and I would like them to be using the most up to date version (which requires MacPorts compiled with this patch). In response to earlier concerns: * Notifications from ui_$priority are now local notifications instead of distributed notifications. * I am adding some code to allow clients of the framework to be able to tell which Framework methods are responsible for the various notifications. That way they can choose if and when to respond to the various notifications based on the method responsible for sending them. * The code is still in the works. Some possible modifications I am thinking of adding are: * More notifications flexibility on the Obj-C side of things so that notifications are sent only for a group of client predefined methods. * More notifications granularity so that a framework client can choose to only listen to for example an MP_configure_Msg_Notification as opposed to just any Msg notification. Finally, as Randall pointed out, this patch only allows for the redefinition of ui_init and does not necessarily send notifications. Please let me know if there are any more concerns with this patch. Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15913#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
