Another user defaults question


  • Subject: Another user defaults question

After extensive reading of archives and documentation I am still having a hard time getting the workings of NSUserDefaults. So here are a couple questions:

1. I can successfully "register" defaults using a dictionary of keys and values and - [NSUserDefaults registerDefaults]. But nothing seems to be written to a file in the ~/Library/Preferences folder? Is that normal? Does it mean I have to - [NSUserDefaults registerDefaults] every time the application starts?

2. It seems that via - [NSUserDefaults registerDefaults] one can only register defaults that are (or have been converted to) objects because only objects can be inserted into the dictionary that is a required argument. But the NSUSerDefaults class also has things such as setBool/Float/Integer: forKey: Isn't that a contradiction -- to be able or not be able to register certain types of default values directly depending on which method you use?

Thanks for any help,
