I think that this is a good idea. If I weren't in exams right now I
would write up a quick framework with something like that since it is
very useful. I have a program that needed to use Application Support
(a score list for a game) and the code for it was annoyingly tedious
yet trivial in what it was actually doing.
Having a reusable piece of code (I just used containing it in a
framework as an example) would be a useful tool since many apps need
this sort of storage (basically, anytime you need something be persist
between users).
It would be nice if it were in Cocoa but it is not hard to write.
Unless someone beats me to it, I will try to write something up in a
few weeks. If I have the time, I will post it (or a link to it) here.
In short, this is a good idea and we should work together so not to
reinvent this wheel for every multi-user app each of us writes.
Good idea,
Jeff.

Is there Cocoa code out there for the commonly-needed task of

Do you mean, as part of application installation?
No, I mean when the app launches, it looks for stuff outside of the
bundle. If the stuff is not there or is outdated, it puts it there.
Right.. but like what?
Most of the stuff in the Application Support folder is just
application specific 'preferences' that don't necessarily fit as a
preference.. like OmniWeb bookmarks...
most items should stay in the application bundle.. if you need to
save them to the application support directory do so only after a
change has been made.
