NSArrayController can't insert object


  • Subject: NSArrayController can't insert object

I have a window with two tables. One table shows the result of searches of the Library of Congress. The other table shows the contents of my library. When the second table shows all the records, I can drag items from the LOC table and add them to my local table.

My local table also has an NSSearchField that can filter the items shown in the table. The problem comes when the local table shows a subset of my entire library. If I drag a new item from the LOC table to the local table, an exception is raised by [NSArrayController _assertFilterRestrictsInsertionOfObjects:atArrangedObjectIndexes:], and the item is not added. (This happens whether or not the search string in the NSSearchField would select the new record.) However, if the book from the LOC table is the same book as one that appears in the filtered local table, the assertion is not triggered, and the addition is allowed to complete.

What is this filter that's implied by _assertFilterRestrictsInsertionOfObjects? It seems as though there's some rule saying that if the arranged object array is not the same set as the content array, new items cannot be added to the arranged object array.

Since [NSArrayController insertObject:atArrangedObjectIndex:] "inserts object into the receivers arranged objects array at the location specified by index, and adds it to the receivers content array", the arranged object array will still be a subset of the content array, so there shouldn't be any reason to forbid making additions to the arranged object array.

Any way around this problem?

XCode = 1.1, OS X = 10.3.3.
