Argh!
Why not using an Interprocess communication solution? (BTW it's great
to see that there's a dedicated session to IPC during next WWDC)
The preferences are communicated in both directions. The daemon, when
started, determines the settings that the user can choose between; the
user chooses between them in the preference pane. Both sets of
preferences should be persisted (the system preferences app will not
always be running for the daemon to query, and the preference pane
allows the daemon to be started and stopped but should still allow the
user to choose the settings when stopped).
So I'm figuring that there'll have to be two files anyway, and any
interprocess communication will be tantamount to "go and re-read your
file", which is superfluous if I can receive notification of file
modification. But if there's something obviously wrong with my approach
I'd like to take advice.
cheers,
Hamish
