The problem is I am creating new objects and inserting them into a managedObjectContext.
([NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName: @"Media" inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext])
My understanding, and findings, is that CoreData is not thread safe. I have a text field bound to an arrayController with a displayPattern that will show the count of items in that arrayController. This does not update properly if my import routine is in a separate thread. It leaves off the last item (for a few seconds anyway, then updates properly) Unless there is a way to force the controller to update properly. ArrangeObjects and RearrangeObjects does not do the job.

I am trying to add to a managedContext during the import of files. When I do this in a separate thread, there are unexpected behaviors (display pattern does not update).
I am trying to avoid using a separate thread, but I do want the user to be able to cancel the import while in process. If I am in a while loop (while files are importing) how can I check for user input (i.e. mousedown on cancel button)

I don't know exactly what you're trying to do, but I think you'd be better off doing as much as you can in a separate thread and then when it comes to dealing with things that have to be on the main thread, use performSelectorOnMainThread:... (or something similar) to pass data to your main thread and handle it there.
