I tried that, and while it allows selection, it doesn't feel right b/c there's that extra character. Drag selecting is not too bad, but using Shift plus arrow keys requires twice the key presses. I ended up subclassing NSTextView and overriding mouseDown:, mouseDragged: and mouseUp: to handle the selection myself. I also filed a bug against NSTextView.

Thanks,
Glen

Hello...

Have you tried putting one or two spaces with a really small font size in between each of the images?

You would probably have to do a bit of checking when the user pastes/deletes images to make sure that there are still the correct number of spaces between each of the images involved. As long as there aren't a huge number of images, the processing time for iterating through all of them to maintain the correct number of spaces shouldn't be too bad, so the implementation probably wouldn't even need to be too complex.


Hope that helps...

I'm using an NSTextView to display a series of small images and no text. The user should be able to select, cut / copy / paste, delete the images. The problem is that you can't click between 2 consecutive images to place the insertion point for editing. You also can't drag across several consecutive images to select them. Is there a solution to this? I've considered overriding mouseDown:, mouseUp: & mouseDragged: to do this myself. Is there a better solution?

Thanks,
Glen Simmons
