I'm working on something that needs to know when the computer has
had no user input for a period of time. How does the Screensaver
Engine know when the user has been idle long enough to start? I
need to do the same thing and I can't find any Cocoa methods that
provide that information.
I found something that suggested I could get this information from
IOKit, but it looks like I'd have to constantly poll the idle time,
and polling sucks. Anyone know if there is an NSNotification I can
receive for idle times?
Not an NSNotification.
