Re: Source dictionaries from file?

Working on a similar screen saver and this was the way I went. Doesn't take too long to do and is much more flexible. One other advantage is a user can just double-click the .saver bundle and they will be prompted in which user domain they wish to install it in.

Haven't done any work on it recently, but a few seed releases ago, I could pass the data in using KVC as either an NSDictionary or an NSArray. For some reason, I couldn't set an array of dictionaries. They structure index and key patches didn't parse the values. Could be fixed now as this was back in February or March.

The alternative seems to be to use the Xcode template to write a ScreenSaver, and include the Quartz framework, load the composition, and go from there. If I create my array of dicts in the Cocoa ScreenSaver, can I bind it to a published port in the composition to access it?
