given a multi-window multi-doc doc based app in which several windows
have table views and it is desired to save the state (column order,
width, and sort), is it really appropriate to save the state
information in the app's preference file (as happens when using
NSTableView setAutoSaveName])?
ie, it seems to me that over time the pref file will just grow as the
user accesses more docs. wouldn't it be better to save this
information in the doc iteself? but i don't see how to do this
easily? i realize that i can fairly easily save the sort information
by obtaining and archiving the sort descriptors for the table, but i
don't see an easy way to save/archive the column order and width.
(and i still want to believe that cocoa makes simple things easy...
:-) )
also, i note that if i do a save-as that the table state is not saved
properly. am i expected to change the autosave name for any windows
when the user does a save-as?
thanx,
ken
