How would I go about having an operation stay alive as long as my
application is alive,
If this is what you want, then it's no longer an operation, it's
just a thread. Don't use NSOperation for this.
I use DiskAppearedCallback / DiskDisappearedCallback from the
DiskArbitration Framework
in my application and I want the to be in their separate thread.
Why do you want them to be in a separate thread? The run loop is
designed specifically to allow for monitoring of various input
sources without the need to spawn threads.
How can i have the thread not quit as soon as the callback's are
registered?
If you really want to use a thread, add a dummy NSPort to the
thread's run loop and then just run the run loop. The thread will
just sit in the run loop and process DiskArbitration callbacks when
they happen.
Cheers,
Ken
