Thanks... Unfortunately I had to be out of eMail contact and hit upon the application delegate solution by sitting back and reviewing the options that I knew of. That having been said, I really like the singleton method and may switch over to that. Thanks for the feedback!

You have a couple options. You could use a singleton design pattern, where you have a class method on PreferencesController that returns the default PreferencesController. Use that everywhere, and you'll always be talking to the same one.

Another option would be to make your application delegate be the object that manages the PreferencesController. Then you can just have an accessor on that to get it, and use [[NSApp delegate] preferencesController] to get to it.

Finally, you can try to structure your preferences in such a way that you don't need a PreferencesController, and you just access the user defaults where you need preferences.

"Good enough" shouldn't be. From there the fall into mediocrity and indifference is a short one.
