Important nitpick:

NSError *saveError = nil;
[importContext save:&saveError];

Methods that follow the NSError** convention are not required to actually assign a value to the saveError pointer, so you'll want to make sure to initialize saveError to nil since its a local variable. Wouldn't want to be checking against undefined garbage later, especially if you have something like a "if (saveError)" check.

Haven't there been several threads recently telling people *never* to use the if( saveError ) check because saveError may be set even if the method succeeds.


if the save: method returns NO, which is what you should check, is the saveError then not guaranteed to be assigned?

if( ![ importContext save:&saveError ] )
{
	// use saveError as you please.
}

Not that I particularly disagree with setting variables explicitly to nil or NULL, it's a good practice, however the use case you give, of checking it later to see if there was an error, seems wrong.
