Re: CoreData: Using willSave to update timestamps causes hang?

mmalc,

Thanks for your help.

The documentation enhancement/clarification request is <rdar://4106260>.

Is there a recommended way for keeping a last saved date attached to individual entities then? The last saved date may or may not be displayed in the UI at any given time.

If I change the requirements to be the last edit time, I suppose I could catch the edits via a setValue:forKey override and make sure the key isn't the timestamp key (and that we aren't in the middle of an undo or redo.) Are there gotchas with this approach? Bad idea?

Anyone doing something similar?

I'd recommend against use of didSave in the way you suggest(*). A better architecture would be to register for the relevant save notifications and refault the objects...

I've uploaded a new sample project...

<http://homepage.mac.com/jimcorreia/tmp/WillSave.zip>

By re-faulting, do you mean

- (void)managedObjectContextDidSave:(NSNotification *)notification
{
NSArray *updated = [[notification userInfo] objectForKey: NSUpdatedObjectsKey];
NSEnumerator *enumerator = [updated objectEnumerator];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];
NSManagedObject *object = nil;


    while (nil != (object = [enumerator nextObject]))
    {
        [context refreshObject: object mergeChanges: NO];
    }
}

This causes the UI to refresh, but I still end up with a phantom undo state. (Is there a good bottleneck to set a breakpoint so I can watch CoreData register undos, and do/undo them to understand what is going on when I encounter a "phantom" undo state?)

Thanks,
Jim
