Re: Setting Copies and Pages from the PDE

I have two related questions:

1) What dependency the other way, my PDE inspecting settings controlled
by another. For example, what if I want my PDE to behave differently
depending on whether Collate is on or off. When my PDE's
Sync(kSyncDirectionSetUserInterface) is called, can it rely that the
Copies & Pages PDE, or any other well known PDE, has already updated its
ticket values.

I remember this not being true, but memory is hazy and I might have been
thinking of the same case you just spoke about. Either way, I don't think
its clear if this read-only kind of dependency is acceptable or not.

2) About implementing dependencies between my own PDEs. Perhaps more a
CFPlugin question, but if I setup my bundle so that my PDEs were both
instances of the same plugin bundle, just with different factory
functions, would there truly be 2 distinct instances? Or instead could I,
say, share a global variable between them? If not, what ways are there
for two PDEs to coordinate? Just via the ticket?

Thanks!
Pierre
