I'm trying to convert an NSArray to a string and read it back at a
later point. I call [myMutableArray description], store it away,
and then later try to recreate the array using [arrayString
propertyList].
However, upon trying to return an NSArray from the string I get:
2005-11-23 21:37:08.801 Catalyst[17518] XML parser error:
Unexpected character ( at line 1
Old-style plist parser error:
Expected terminating ')' for array at line 5
Here is the description string:
2005-11-23 21:38:37.992 Catalyst[17542] (
{
CIFilterName = CIHueAdjust;
inputAngle = 1.475182809936707;
inputImage = {CIImage [0 0 22 26]};
}
)
Is this a bug? I searched CocoaBuilder and found a message
detailing the exact same problem in 2001, but no one ever replied
to it.
Description is not meant as a way to serialize (aka archive) an array.
Review NSCoding which NSArray implements...

Then review...
