what bothers you about that being KVC-compliant? NSIndexSet is just an
immutable object no different from ... NSString. yes it sort of
represents a sparse array, but it's just a one-to-one relationship
with the NSCollectionView, each NSCollectionView can have a
selectionIndexes property and that's one single NSIndexSet. When the
selection changes, the entire set changes even if the range it
represents changed only by one index.
I thought your addObserver: call looked right and the keyPath: looks
right too. Did you try adding NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial just so
you can satisfy yourself you get SOMETHING for that property? What's
mutating it? I assume the GUI is and I'd assume that it mutates it in
a KVC-compliant manner but ... perhaps it doesn't.

The title says it all really - is there a way to get notified
about selection changes in a NSCollectionView? The docs appear to
indicate that this is not possible, but that seems to be a very
obvious need, so it's surprising.

The documentation for NSCollectionView selectionIndexes
"This property is observable using key-value observing."
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/NSCollectionView_Class/Introduction/Introduction.html#/
/apple_ref/occ/instm/NSCollectionView/selectionIndexes
Yes, I saw that, but I can't get it to work, since I'm just not
seeing how NSIndexSet is KVC compliant, nor how NSCollectionView is
KVC compliant for that property. I'm obviously missing some facet of
KVO here, since using KVO in more conventional circumstances works
OK for me.
I have:
[mPickerView addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"selectionIndexes"
options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:NULL];
but my observer is never notified. The keyPath is obviously wrong,
but I can't figure out what it's meant to be. It's not even clear if
the "selection" is considered a to-one or a to-many relationship
here. But in any case this property doesn't appear to fit any of the
criteria listed for KVC compliance:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/KeyValueCoding/Concepts/Compliant.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/uid/20002172
So... huh? I'm sure I'm being dense but I'm not getting something
here.
