Error with Xcode 15 beta 5
I am getting the following error on this line of code @Query(sort: \.id, order: .reverse) private var artList: [ArtInventory] Cannot infer key path type from context; consider explicitly specifying a root type So, I select fix and then the line of code then look like this @Query(sort: \<#Root#>.id, order: .reverse) private var artList: [ArtInventory] with this error Invalid component of Swift key path Some seems to have changed with the @Query macro in beta 5, which now needs a root type, but not sure how to proceed. Any ideas how to fix?

How is this coded in the NSWindowController class? I tried the following: let printAction = CustViewController.printCustomers(<#T##self: CustViewController##CustViewController#> ) but don't know how to code argument in this and this may be not be the way to do this?

How to add headers programmatically to NSTableView
I have created programmatically a NSTableView with a couple of columns, this table view has 3 columns and I want to set headers for the columns to accomplish the same thing as you get when you selected headers in IB. I looked for some examples, found a few things but not really work for me. How is this done. It seems like this should be easy to code. This is an example of one of the examples I found. let headerCell = CustomTableHeaderCell.init(textCell: "123123") // let font = NSFont(name: "Arial", size: 22.0) // headerCell.stringValue = "firstname" // headerCell.font = font self.tableView.tableColumns[0].headerCell = headerCell But CustomTableHeaderCell is not found. How is this done?

macOS TableView dynamic row height?
Environment is macOS Monterey Xcode 13. Is there a way to change the behavior of a macOS NSTableView to have the row height change based on the contents of a column. As an example when populating the column data and the width of the content exceeds the width of the column to have the content wrap to an additional line, which of course the row height would have to change then as well. If so, how can this be done? Thanks

Where does SwiftData store the data?
I understand by default SwiftData uses SQLite database but it can be configured to persist data in XML, binary and even in-memory databases. Does anybody know where SwiftData the SQLite database is located?
