Hi!
I'm trying to remove the saved window frame of a window from the
application preferences. So let's say I have a global:
NSString *name = @"My_window_name"; // Actually the name I am using
is UUID so it should be globally unique.
The NSWindow gets initialized using [window
setFrameAutosaveName:name]; This works fine and saves/restores the
window frame.
Then later on I want to remove the saved frame from the prefs. I
tried to use
[NSWindow removeFrameUsingName:name];
But it does not seem to work. The prefs file still contains the frame
for the window (key: "NSWindow Frame My_window_name"). (Yes, I made
sure that the prefs where synchronized and I even quit the app to be
sure I wasn't seeing any caching effects.)
Then, thinking that somehow the window might undo my deletion, I tried:
[window setFrameAutosaveName:@""];
[NSWindow removeFrameUsingName:name];
as well as:
[NSWindow removeFrameUsingName:name];
[window setFrameAutosaveName:@""];
But neither of these variants made any difference.
I can of course delete the saved window frame by doing the following:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] removeObjectForKey:[NSString
stringWithFormat:@"NSWindow Frame %@",name]];
But that relies on knowledge of Cocoa internals which I would rather
avoid.
I'm testing this on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (PPC).
I couldn't find any related comments in the list archives or via
Google. So, any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is this a bug in Cocoa,
i.e. does this work for anyone else?
Thanks!
Mike
