Re: [TxMt] tm_dialog and really long plists

Yes, pass the plist as stdin instead of via -p, then you also do not need to shell escape it.

So from Ruby, with ‘params’ being a ruby hash:

open("|\"$DIALOG\" -t#{token}", "w") { |io| io <<  

params.to_plist }

OK. Making sense so far, but how is the window token defined, and is it necessary when using a custom nib? I tried using:

plist = { 'photosets' => setarray }.to_plist res = open("|"$DIALOG" -m select_photoset", "w") { |io| io << plist }

and got back what looked like a perfect xml response but with this at the end:

Received exception:undefined method

The problem seems to be in how I'm calling tm_dialog, so I'm hoping it's an obvious solution…
