How do I find out the block size of a hdd?
Or is it called sector size? anyways the smallest physical size that is allocated for a file on the disk.

How do I add standard apple icons such as backspace, cmd, alt, function keys, etc. as the shortcut images in a MenuItem?

This actually produces an unwanted behaviour when coding and should be treated as a bug.
I have in my menu two items that uses the same shortcut key, simply because I want to be able to toggle fast between them. Obviously, as some of you probably dying to point out I could have only one item and ...

You can only have one set of menus on the Mac and it is associated with one open window but all windows seem to be able to access this menu set. MenuShortcuts don't seem to be active when you're not in the window that created them so just make the menu shortcuts and see how it goes. Just be sure ...

Thanks. It look a lot better now

The fonts are all messed up in 4.60B3, which one should I choose to have the same as in 4.51?

Since it is not possible to run multiple instances of programs on the mac (as far as I know) I have to open several windows instead.
I would like to have the same menu on all open windows, and I want a standard "Window" menu with a list of all open windows. Only the active window should have ...

I run threads in some applications. I have more or less the same problem. Random crashes. Perhaps the mutex system in PB is not properly adapted for the mac? (wild speculation).
But since it is not possible to debug threads on the mac version I have given up trying to get my code stable.

Thank you freak

...make use of the touchpad it probably should have said in the title, even I know how to use it

For two-finger scrolling, pinch zoom, etc.
Do I have to read vectors from the touchpad and construct my own functions or are there pre-constructed functions I can use?
any APIs?
support in PB?

aha, this could be interesting, a new thread per window then.
thanks freak

ProgramParameter() did not return anything useful either. Only for console apps?

I have not found any related posts in the bug section, better move it there then. Is that even possible without being admin? Can't find any knob or switch for that.
