upgrade strategy question


  • Subject: upgrade strategy question

I have an NSTableView with an autosave name so that users can preserve
their arrangement of table columns.

In a forthcoming version of the product, there are new columns that
users won't have seen before.  However, the presence of the autosave
settings causes those columns to be hidden because it looks as though
the user didn't want them displayed.  (Not so -- they simply didn't
exist when the autosave settings were written out).

What's the right way to gracefully transition people's settings while
still letting them see the new features?

I could just change the autosave name on the table, but that would
clobber their settings.  I could expend effort writing NSMenus for
enabling/disabling column display, but that's not a feature I would
add otherwise.
