AppKiDo Description

Reference tool, browse Cocoa documentation AppKiDo is a useful tool designed for Cocoa Objective-C programmers. The goal of AppKiDo is to help you find what you want in the Cocoa documentation. AppKiDo does this by parsing the header files and the HTML doc files that were installed with your Developer Tools, and presenting the results in a form that is easy to navigate.AppKiDo can search for names of classes, protocols, functions, types, and constants. Searches are by substring, not keyword. So, for example, if you're wondering how to manage cursors, search for "cursor". Apple has conveniently put the word "cursor" in the names of most things related to cursors.AppKiDo presents the class hierarchy in a browser view. If you are new to Cocoa, browse the class hierarchy to get acquainted with what's there and how it's organized.If you are more experienced, you can study branches of the hierarchy you never paid attention to before. AppKiDo provides handy "quicklists" of logically related groups of classes. This puts many frequently used classes a click or two away.AppKiDo can display a consolidated list of all methods a class implements, including inherited methods and methods that satisfy a protocol. This can help you understand the complete behavior of a class. Scanning through a consolidated list is more convenient than browsing a class's superclasses and protocols one at a time. AppKiDo can open the .h file for any Cocoa class. Theoretically you shouldn't need to do this, but sometimes it comes in handy. What's New in This Release: · Works with the Xcode 3.2 docs (i.e., Snow Leopard). · Added NSDate to the "Strings, data, collections" quicklist. · If you switch to a different app while AppKiDo is loading, you won't get AppKiDo windows popping up in front when it's done loading. · Changed to look for docs in the right place when the Dev Tools version is 2.5 and the Dev Tools directory is not /Developer. · Added a popup button in prefs so you can choose between iPhone SDKs if you have more than one installed. · Fixed bug where links to http: pages (like the sample code links in +stringWithString:) weren't going anywhere. · Fixed bug causing DOM classes to show up as root classes. · When you do a search, jumps to the first search result that has the search string as a prefix, if there is one. · Staggers placement of new windows.
