Well looking at your screenshot, can I assume that this is not a doc-
based app, but just the main screen of an app, and that you need to
save it's settings each time?
If so, I would use Bindings - they'll make life a lot easier.

A screenshot of the app is available at
http://jonathansaggau.com/cocoa-dev/slider.jpg (I know, read the
HIG...)
It's a little toy; I'm using it to learn pyobjc and to connect some
python
classes to SuperCollider. Then, I plan to rewrite it in Objective-
C to
learn the memory management stuff better and to get more
comfortable with
the messaging style and [[bracket syntax] init] while learning how to
instantiate a python object in obj-c.
(There is probably more info ^there than you need, but I get
excited by this
stuff)
The plist I'm using to save the state looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>properties</key>
<dict>
<key>Port Number</key>
<string>57110</string>
<key>SCServer IP</key>
<string>127.0.0.1</string>
<key>SynthNode Number</key>
<string>1000</string>
<key>Variable Name</key>
<string>vol</string> #these are all strings for
compatibility with
a python class I'm using...
</dict>
<key>state</key>
<dict>
<key>currentSliderValue</key>
<real>0.0</real>
<key>label</key>
<string>Slider Label</string>
<key>maxSliderValue</key>
<real>100</real>
<key>minSliderValue</key>
<real>0.0</real>
<key>Window On Top</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
On load of the document, it gets gui state from the plist and on
save, it
dumps the positions of the widgets into the plist. It does so
quickly and
everything is working, but I just knew that there would be
something slick
and cocoa-like I could learn. I'll be looking at the cocoa bindings
tutorials online and in my Hillegass book tomorrow (thanks again).
Cheers,
Jonathan Saggau
