Is there any way to initialise and use WebKit out of the main thread?
No, there isn't. This is a fundamental restriction on the use of
WebKit.
Yes, I know. I just hoped there was some secret magical workaround
which would enable me to create attributed strings in the main thread.
The point is I'm trying to create something like Finder's "Show icon
preview" functionality, trying to create graphical representations of
some text files (which are kept in memory) but to still keep UI
responsive if a user wants to scroll view etc.
So, I assume creating attributed strings is not thread safe, but I
don't remember anything like that stated in the documentation. In my
opinion, that looks like a bug.
