Re: Saving arrays with NSUserDefaults?

Hello...

In addition to the option of archiving objects of your Preset class as Nick suggested, another option would be to use an NSDictionary to hold your presets instead of a custom class.

If your Preset class has methods besides regular accessor methods, then you could instead implement an initializer that takes an NSDictionary of presets and initializes an instance of Preset with those values, and an instance method that exports itself as a dictionary.

Since all of the instance variables in your class can be represented as property list objects (storing the floats, BOOLs, and ints in a NSNumber), the dictionary could be stored normally in the user defaults without archiving.

'presets' is an NSMutableArray consisting of several of these:

@interface Preset : NSObject
{
NSString* name;
float intensity;
float sensitivity;
float fade;
float zoom;
float zoomRotation;
int numLines;
float r1,g1,b1;
float r2,g2,b2;
bool smooth;
bool glow;
bool cycle;
bool sharpOverlay;
int scaleSystem;
};
@end;

...
Thanks,
Jon
