Re: Archiving or copying observers and elements

You can only retain the AXObserverRef and AXUIElementRef objects. What do
you mean by archiving? You cannot store an AXUIElementRef from an app
beyond the lifetime of that app/element. I.e. If you quit the application
that the AXUIElement references then the element will become invalid.

Can you give me an example on why you need a copy primitive?

Thanks,
