How to check if Address Book has changed?

Hi,

Is there any way to check if changes have been made to Address Book (AB)? I have an app that uses AB and I want to set it up so that when the user updates AB, my app knows about the change/s and updates itself automatically. I searched AB.framework but there doesn't seem to be any notification or messages sent by AB.

I could use AB's hasUnsavedChanges: method, but that raises another question: when I make a change to AB, is the change saved (a) immediately, (b) when I stop editing the card, or (c) when I quit AB? If it's (b), then I could use hasUnsavedChanges:, and if it's (c), then I could use NSWorkspace. But if it's (a), then hasUnsavedChanges: would return NO as if no changes have been made, and I'll be stuck.

I hope the above makes sense and that my assumptions in the second paragraph are correct.

Thanks
Yuhui
