as_NSWorkspace_NSDeprecated

public NSDeprecated as_NSWorkspace_NSDeprecated()

as_NSWorkspace_NSDesktopImages

public NSDesktopImages as_NSWorkspace_NSDesktopImages()

sharedWorkspace

public static NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace()

Get the shared instance of NSWorkspace. This method will create an instance of NSWorkspace if it has not been created yet. You should not attempt to instantiate instances of NSWorkspace yourself, and you should not attempt to subclass NSWorkspace.
Original signature : +(NSWorkspace*)sharedWorkspace
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:55

notificationCenter

public abstract NSNotificationCenter notificationCenter()

Returns the NSNotificationCenter for this NSWorkspace. All notifications in this header file must be registered on this notifcation center. If you register on other notification centers, you will not receive the notifications.
Original signature : -(NSNotificationCenter*)notificationCenter
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:58

openFile

public abstract boolean openFile(NSString fullPath)

Open a file at some path. If you use the variant without the withApplication: parameter, or if you pass nil for this parameter, the default application is used. The appName parameter may be a full path to an application, or just the application's name, with or without the .app extension. If you pass YES for andDeactivate:, or call a variant without this parameter, the calling app is deactivated before the new app is launched, so that the new app may come to the foreground unless the user switches to another application in the interim. Passing YES for andDeactivate: is generally recommended.
Original signature : -(BOOL)openFile:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:62

openFile_withApplication

public abstract boolean openFile_withApplication(NSString fullPath,
                                                 NSString appName)

Launches an application. The appName may be a full path to the app, or the name alone, with or without the .app extension.
Original signature : -(BOOL)launchApplication:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:73

Launches the app at the given URL. If the app is successfully launched, a reference to the new running app is returned. If the app is already running, and NSWorkspaceLaunchNewInstance is not specified, then a reference to the existing app is returned. If the app could not be launched, nil is returned and an NSError is returned by reference.
The configuration dictionary can be used to pass additional options to the app. Possible keys are listed later in this file (search for NSWorkspaceLaunchConfiguration). The configuration dictionary may be nil, in which case default behavior applies.

native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:82

fullPathForApplication

Activate the Finder and open a window selecting the file at the given path. If fullPath is nil, this will instead open the directory specified by rootFullPath, and not select any file.
Original signature : -(BOOL)selectFile:(NSString*) inFileViewerRootedAtPath:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:88

activateFileViewerSelectingURLs

public abstract void activateFileViewerSelectingURLs(NSArray fileURLs)

native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:95

noteFileSystemChanged

public abstract void noteFileSystemChanged(NSString path)

native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:98

getInfoForFile_application_type

public abstract boolean getInfoForFile_application_type(NSString fullPath,

Original signature : -(BOOL)getInfoForFile:(NSString*) application:(NSString**) type:(NSString**)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:101

isFilePackageAtPath

public abstract boolean isFilePackageAtPath(NSString fullPath)

Indicates whether a given directory is a package. Returns YES if the file is a package, NO if not, or if the file does not exist or the operation otherwise failed. A file may be a package because its filename extension indicates so (for example, .framework) or because it has the package bit set.

Original signature : -(NSImage*)iconForFileType:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:113

Original signature : -(BOOL)setIcon:(NSImage*) forFile:(NSString*) options:(NSWorkspaceIconCreationOptions)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:118

Parameters:

options - @see org.rococoa.cocoa.appkit.AppKitLibrary#NSWorkspaceIconCreationOptions

native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:184

Parameters:

options - @see org.rococoa.cocoa.appkit.AppKitLibrary#NSWorkspaceLaunchOptions

launchedApplications

public abstract NSArray launchedApplications()

Gets an array of NSDictionaries with the above keys. In addition, the NSWorkspaceApplicationKey is provided, and vends an instance of NSRunningApplication. This method does not return applications that are UIElement or BackgroundOnly. To access the entire list of running applications, use the -[NSWorkspace runningApplications] method, declared in NSRunningApplication.h.
Original signature : -(NSArray*)launchedApplications
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:200

activeApplication

public abstract NSDictionary activeApplication()

Get an NSDictionary representing the currently frontmost app, with the above keys. The NSWorkspaceApplicationKey is also provided.
Original signature : -(NSDictionary*)activeApplication
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:203

typeOfFile_error

public abstract NSString typeOfFile_error(NSString absoluteFilePath,
                                          PointerByReference outError)

Given an absolute file path, return the uniform type identifier (UTI) of the file, if one can be determined. Otherwise, return nil after setting *outError to an NSError that encapsulates the reason why the file's type could not be determined. If the file at the end of the path is a symbolic link the type of the symbolic link will be returned.
You can invoke this method to get the UTI of an existing file. To get the UTI of a URL, use the NSURLTypeIdentifierKey file system resource key from NSURL.h.
Original signature : -(NSString*)typeOfFile:(NSString*) error:(NSError**)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:213

localizedDescriptionForType

public abstract NSString localizedDescriptionForType(NSString typeName)

Given a UTI, return a string that describes the document type and is fit to present to the user, or nil for failure.
You can invoke this method to get the name of a type that must be shown to the user, in an alert about your application's inability to handle the type, for instance.
Original signature : -(NSString*)localizedDescriptionForType:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:219

preferredFilenameExtensionForType

public abstract NSString preferredFilenameExtensionForType(NSString typeName)

Given a UTI, return the best file name extension to use when creating a file of that type, or nil for failure.
You can invoke this method when your application has only the base name of a file that's being written and it has to append a file name extension so that the file's type can be reliably identified later on.
Original signature : -(NSString*)preferredFilenameExtensionForType:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:225

filenameExtension_isValidForType

public abstract boolean filenameExtension_isValidForType(NSString filenameExtension,
                                                         NSString typeName)

Given a file name extension and a UTI, return YES if the file name extension is a valid tag for the identified type, NO otherwise.
You can invoke this method when your application needs to check if a file name extension can be used to reliably identify the type later on. For example, NSSavePanel uses this method to validate any extension that the user types in the panel's file name field.
Original signature : -(BOOL)filenameExtension:(NSString*) isValidForType:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:231

type_conformsToType

public abstract boolean type_conformsToType(NSString firstTypeName,
                                            NSString secondTypeName)

Given two UTIs, return YES if the first "conforms to" to the second in the uniform type identifier hierarchy, NO otherwise. This method will always return YES if the two strings are equal, so you can also use it with other kinds of type name, including those declared in CFBundleTypeName Info.plist entries in apps that don't take advantage of the support for UTIs that was added to Cocoa in Mac OS 10.5.
You can invoke this method when your application must determine whether it can handle a file of a known type, returned by -typeOfFile:error: for instance.
Use this method instead of merely comparing UTIs for equality.
Original signature : -(BOOL)type:(NSString*) conformsToType:(NSString*)
native declaration : NSWorkspace.h:239
