I hate to say this, but any form of delay here is the *wrong* way to
do this. You already know you have a race condition, all you're doing
is making it so the race condition will work out in your favor 99.99%
of the time. There are still exceptional cases where the OS will be
busy doing something and your 0.1 second sleep will not be enough to
sort it out.
Excellent point.
Instead of doing this, do your threading properly, and get your
locking right.
What you say makes a lot of sense. I'd certainly be interested
in any specifics. I confess to having no idea what it would
mean to 'get [my] locking right' in this scenario (repeated below).
Thanks,
Steve
when I send a fetch message to an NSArrayController, it sometimes takes
a fraction of a second for its selection to become valid.
