2.   ARC Aware: toggling OFF/ON

In Depth

Quick Start 2

At the top of the Action Menu, there’s an ARC Aware menu item that can be toggled via the keyboard shortcut “z”.  ARC awareness can also be toggled from Accessorizer’s main interface. 

In the main interface, you also have the option to set zeroing or non-zeroing.

These modes stay in sync, ie: you can toggle from the Action Menu or from the main interface.

This makes it very easy to work on a project where some files are using ARC and others are not.  In fact, you can even convert property statements between non-ARC and ARC by simply selecting your @property statements, invoking the Accessorizer Action Panel Service to send them over to Accessorizer, bring up the Action Menu and toggle your ARC Aware setting to whatever you need with “z”, then select “1” from the Action Menu to generate Declarations (@property statements).  The statements will then reflect ARC ON or ARC OFF.  The following video demonstrates this how fast this actually is in practice.

1. 1)Select a block of properties that have been created with ARC Aware turned ON and invoke Accessorizer Action Panel Service
   

2. 2)Show Action Menu
   

3. 3)Press z to toggle ARC Aware OFF
   

4. 4)Press 1 to regenerate Declarations and automatically paste over existing properties
