I seem to be running into a rather frustrating problem in regards the NSUserDefaults. In the plist file for my application there are numerous values with the same key, and I don't know why each value isn't being assigned to it's own specific key. It's rather hard to explain, and I can't determine a reasonable explanation for the problem. Here is an example... I start my application, it registers its default preferences... I open the preference window and change numerous values, let's say I change setting A and B, respectively... A is set to YES and B to NO... I close my application and look at the plist file, all is well. Now, if I go back and set both A and B to NO and go back to the plist file I note that I now see two A's both set to NO. I don't know what's causing the problem, maybe it's the method in which I change the values. I added a unique tag to each UI component in the preference window and use a switch statement in one method to handle all the preference changes. Could this pose any problem?

I think it only affects Boolean keys. I believe the bug was introduced in 10.2.3, as it seemed to work fine until that system update, or the Dec 2002 Developer Tools update.

Just hit the "dump" button, and you can see the raw .plist format. If you want to temporarily set integers instead of BOOL for the types, it will display them correctly.
