@trode I used to follow @stroughtonsmith on Twitter but had no idea that he was on the Fediverse 🙂 Thanks for the pointer, Blake!

Has anybody had luck getting a Catalyst app to restore window frame (size & position) after closing all windows of the app and then tapping the dock icon to launch the app again?

If I quit the app and re-launch, it remembers the frame fine using my current mechanism, but if I close all windows and re-launch from dock, it places the app at the default position rather than the previously remembered position.

I got this to work correctly for a #SwiftUI app under macOS after a bit of tinkering but that was using `NSApplicationDelegate` methods. Haven’t had much luck with `UIApplicationDelegate` methods for the Catalyst app so far because my previous method involved using `applicationShouldHandleReopen` which is not there in `UIApplicationDelegate` ….

So wondering if anybody has run into this before and fixed it before I do a deeper dive …

@vyr Oh, cool! Thanks for that 🙂Will look into it … @joforselldev @finestructure

@dimsumthinking Yeah, I couldn’t get my project to even compile with a relationship, if I recall correctly 🙂 So you’re already further ahead than I am …

@dimsumthinking I really couldn’t make relationships work with beta 1. Meant to try again later but have not gone back yet ….

@noim As long as you post about Swift coding sometimes, I’m here to follow 😛

There are certain roles where it’s a joy to watch Murali Sharma act 🙂 Generally, not the ones where he is an out-and-out villain, but the ones where he plays a normal (or more-or-less normal) person ….

I haven’t finished the movie, or even gotten more than 10 minutes in for that matter, but “Stand Up Rahul” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14806338) feels like a movie where I’m going to really enjoy seeing Murali Sharma’s character ...

@joforselldev Yep 🙂And this is one scenario that I miss all the time when I decide to set up my own instance … As in, this is not the first time I’ve forgotten this particular downside 😛

I love having my own instance since I can customise a lot of things, but missing out on hashtags is one of the big downsides. My instance will sometimes pull a post from a different instance that is like months old because that post matched a hashtag but the post was only federated now because I followed somebody or something ...

Ah well, the joys of tech 😛

@finestructure @QuietMisdreavus

@joforselldev It’ll show you hashtags from your own instance or from people you follow on other instances (and possibly) people they follow. But not all the hashtags out there … if that makes sense? @finestructure @QuietMisdreavus

@brandonhorst I’ll have to give them a look … Not that I’m looking for another recipes app since the wife has settled on one that she likes, but it’s always interesting to see what different devs do with the same idea 🙂

I played around with converting some of my personal apps to VisionOS but after running into a couple of SwiftUI issues, decided to wait for a couple of more VisionOS betas to come through before trying again …

@alexito4 Hashtags work well if you are on a big instance, but no so much if you are on a smaller/personal instance 🙂 Hence looking for more people to follow thus increasing the effectiveness of hashtags on my own instance …

But thank you 🙂

Hey @cwagdev 🙂 Wow, it has been a long time, hasn’t it? I can’t believe it has been this long …

@MakeAppPie If you are talking about #Swift or #SwiftUI, I don’t really mind whether it is as a developer or as an instructor 🙂 I just want all the Swift-talk since it gets me thinking about stuff I wasn’t aware of or hadn’t thought of in quite that way …

@finestructure Yep, that’s why finding people to follow was a bit more workable than it is when you are on a big instance since that feeds back into the federation to make hashtags more useful after the fact 🙂

Thanks in advance for finding the post about the relay …

@finestructure Funny thing is that I find my posts mostly when I try the #Swift hashtag 😛 But that’s probably due to federation … Should have given that a try already. Will try and see how it goes, thanks!

All the talk of donuts today (for breakfast) reminded me of the Donut browser — at least, I think that was what it was called ...

Way back in 1999 or so, I think came across a browser written in C/C++ which was called Donut. I don’t remember much about it now but I think it hosted the IE engine?

I think I used that source code as a starting point to write my own C/C++ browser called Scope:

https://farook.org/Scope.htm

Scope hosted both the IE and Mozilla engines and if I recall correctly, I later re-wrote it in Delphi when I switched over to Delphi as my main development language instead of C/C++. But it was so long ago, that most of this is just a hazy memory 😛

I did a quick Google search for Donut to verify my facts but can’t find any reference to the old browser — only something for Android was there in most search results.

@ryan Thank you 🙂 Will do.

@NeroWolfe I guess that says more about my age than anything else 😛

I couldn’t remember who wrote Nero Wolfe and my mind initially said it was Sax Rohmer and I had to look it up to realize that I was somehow confusing Rohmer’s Nayland Smith with Nero Wolfe for some reason...

I’m still trying to figure out the association 🙂
