<p>
The NSWorkspace class gathers together a large number
of capabilities needed for workspace management.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The make_services tool examines all applications
(anything with a.app,.debug, or.profile suffix)
in the system, local, and user Apps directories, and
caches information about the services each app
provides (extracted from the Info-gnustep.plist
file in each application).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In addition to the cache of services information, it
builds a cache of information about all known
applications (including information about file
types they handle).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
NSWorkspace reads the cache and uses it to
determine which application to use to open a
document and which icon to use to represent that
document.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The NSWorkspace API has been extended to provide
methods for finding/setting the preferred
icon/application for a particular file
type. NSWorkspace will use the 'best'
icon/application available.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To determine the executable to launch, if there was an
Info-gnustep.plist/Info.plist
in the app wrapper and it had an NSExecutable field - it
uses that name. Otherwise, it tries to use the name of
the app - eg. foo.app/foo <br /> The executable is
launched by NSTask, which handles the addition of
machine/os/library path components as
necessary.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To determine the icon for a file, it uses the value from
the cache of icons for the file extension, or use an
'unknown' icon.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To determine the icon for a folder, if the folder has a
'.app', '.debug' or '.profile' extension - the
Info-gnustep.plist file is examined for
an 'NSIcon' value and NSWorkspace tries to use that. If
there is no value specified - it tries
'foo.app/foo.png' or 'foo.app/foo.tiff'
or 'foo.app/.dir.png' or 'foo.app/.dir.tiff'
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If the folder was not an application wrapper, it just
tries the.dir.png and.dir.tiff file.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If no icon was available, it uses a default folder icon
or a special icon for the root directory.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The information about what file types an app can handle
needs to be stored in Info-gnustep.plist in an array
keyed on the name <em>NSTypes</em>, within which each
value is a dictionary. <br />
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In the NSTypes fields, NSWorkspace uses NSIcon (the icon
to use for the type) NSUnixExtensions (a list of file
extensions corresponding to the type) and NSRole
(what the app can do with documents of this type
<em>Editor</em>, <em>Viewer</em>, or <em>None</em>).
In the AppList cache, make_services generates a
dictionary, keyed by file extension, whose
values are the dictionaries containing the NSTypes
dictionaries of each of the apps that handle
the extension. The NSWorkspace class makes use of this
cache at runtime.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If the Info-gnustep.plist of an application says that it
can open files with a particular extension, then when
NSWorkspace is asked to open such a file it
will attempt to send an
<a rel="gsdoc" href="NSApplication.html#method$NSObject(NSApplicationDelegate)-application$openFile$">
-application:openFile:
</a>
message to the application (which must be handled
by the applications delegate). If the application is not
running, NSWorkspace will instead attempt to
launch the application passing the filename to open
after a '-GSFilePath' flag in the command line
arguments. For a GNUstep application, the
application will recognize this and invoke the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="NSApplication.html#method$NSObject(NSApplicationDelegate)-application$openFile$">
-application:openFile:
</a>
method passing it the file name.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This command line argument mechanism provides a way
for non-gnustep applications to be used to open files
simply by provideing a wrapper for them containing
the appropriate Info-gnustep.plist. <br /> For instance
- you could set up xv.app to contain a shellscript 'xv'
that would start the real xv binary passing it a file
to open if the '-GSFilePath' argument was given. The
Info-gnustep.plist file could look like
this:
</p>
<p>
<pre>
{
NSExecutable = "xv";
NSIcon = "xv.png";
NSTypes = (
{
NSIcon = "tiff.tiff";
NSUnixExtensions = (tiff, tif);
},
{
NSIcon = "xbm.tiff";
NSUnixExtensions = (xbm);
}
);
}
</pre>

Launches the specified application (unless it is
already running). <br /> If the
<var>autolaunch</var> flag is yes, sets the

launched application, so that applications which
understand the concept of being autolaunched

<p>
Sends an
NSWorkspaceWillLaunchApplicationNotification
before it actually attempts to launch the
application (this is not sent if the
application is already running).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The application sends an
NSWorkspaceDidlLaunchApplicationNotification
on completion of launching. This is not sent if the
application is already running, or if it
fails to complete its startup.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Returns <code>NO</code> if the application cannot
be launched (eg. it does not exist or the binary is
not executable).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Returns <code>YES</code> if the application was
already running or of it was launched (this does
not necessarily mean that the application succeeded
in starting up fully).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Once an application has fully started up, you should
be able to connect to it using
<a rel="gsdoc" href="/usr/share/GNUstep/Documentation/Developer/Base/Reference/NSConnection.html#method$NSConnection+rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName$host$">[NSConnection +rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName:host:]</a>
passing the application name (normally the filesystem name excluding path and file extension) and an empty host name. This will let you communicate with the the <a rel="gsdoc" href="NSApplication.html#method$NSApplication-delegate">[NSApplication -delegate]</a>
of the launched application, and you can generally use this as a test of whether an application is running correctly.
