Copy the whole card; this works (most of the time).

How to update contents without holding up the user?
I am writing an app which requires it check the AWS server periodically for new content (text or pdf files) and download it. Since the new content is strictly not essential for the user to use the app, the user should be able to go ahead and start using the app while the content is being updated. Wh...

Re: When specialFolderPath() fails
Darn!
Do you know how many times in the past I have heard Klaus shout (in all caps) about this very point?
I still stepped into it!
Putting it into a variable first should guard me against this pitfall.
Thanks,
Sri

Re: Environment: which applies when?
I am sorry to bring this up again, but
in the case of a standalone application running on iOS
what would the function environment() return?
"standalone application" or "mobile" ?
Why?
(I am assuming the function returns only one result).
