Dear list,
I'm somewhat confused about the proper way to distribute application updates when it comes to the toolbar in the app. The app has a toolbar with is configurable, which (I believe) means that the configuration of the toolbar is stored in the user's application defaults under ~/Library/Preferences/com.mystuff.myapp.plist.
Now, if I issue a new version of the application with a new feature that comes with a new toolbar button, this button doesn't appear when the new version is launched. In some way this makes sense, but in another way it doesn't.
Is there a recommended way to handle this situation? Should I just tell the user that they should edit the toolbar to add the new button? Can I do something programatically to add the new button? Advice is very much welcome.
Best wishes,
Martin
