I didn't say that you said anything different. However, I take it that "for a while" means that after wend, then Apple will be moving away from resources. >There is no need for FB plst-examples. Perhaps for you, but I still don't fully appreciate the relationship. I suspect that at some point, an FB application should have a corresponding plst file/resource and thus a FB-plst file/resource should reside somewhere. The question for me is, where should the plst file reside? >There is nothing FB-specific with the plst resource. Does an FB application use plst or does the OS use an FB application's plst file? If so, then I would like to see an example. >Please read Apple's TN 2013 "The 'plst' resource". It provides examples. Okay, http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2013.html I read that it's a text file with a bunch of key values and such -- I get that. But as to where to put it, it's as clear as mud. Do I use Resorcerer to make a plst resource in the .rsrc file in my development folder OR do I make a text file and place it in bum-butt, Iowa, or what? >> However, jonathan has provided an excellent, and I believe >> correct way, to handle preferences via his "The Gnomes Appearance >> Shell" example.

Arrgggg! Now that I finally got it working, you tell me that it's no longer up-to date. What I would like is simply something that would make saving preferences simple, like maybe fn savePrefs and a fn loadPrefs. >For the really easy to use prefs-concept that Apple provides >(CoreFoundation Preferences) see the Apple docs: > >"Preferences Utilities Reference" and "Introduction to Preferences" > >Furthermore, there is my FB-"PassWord_Demo" on the DropBox that >shows how easy it is to use CoreFoundation Preferences. > >Please let me know if you need the corresponding FB-header files. As always, I have problems accessing the FB Drop-box. Every time I go there, I see nothing but a Drop Box Folder with nothing inside.
