I've been reading O'Reilly's "Learning Cocoa with Objective-C", even
though I'm using XCode 2.2.1 on OS X 10.4.6, just to get my feet wet.
The fact that the developing tools have changed makes it more of a
learning experience to figure out how to adapt to the differences.
But I'm on the last few chapters and I've come across some problems
that have stumped me, despite searching the web and documentation.
1. It says on page 294 in Chapter 15 that you can override preference
settings with "Application -[Key name] [Value name]" from the
Terminal. But whenever I try to do that, it gives me an error, saying
there is no directory with the same name as the [Key name] in my home
directory. Is there a newer way to do this that works properly?
2. On page 296, the third exercise at the end of Chapter 15 says to
modify the example application "so that it reads its application
defaults from a .plist file contained as a resource in its
application bundle" rather than in ~/Library/Preferences. I can't
figure out how to do that.
Can anyone offer any comments? I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Xavier
