Is it possible to set-up a second thread that would deal with the UI
while the main thread is locked-up? Or is that a big no-no?
It is entirely normal to run the UI and computation in separate
threads, although it must be said that it is usually the main thread
that runs the UI and spawns worker threads (rather than the other way
around). You probably shouldn't access UI objects from more than one
thread though; the last I heard, the AppKit wasn't fully thread safe.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
