Understandable. It's a complicated technology (especially when you consider its interaction with Bindings).



The short answer is yes, I understand to give each thread it's own context, but I don't know if it will break without a run loop.

Maybe I'm being dense - a distinct possibility - but I don't get what you mean by this. It might be good to start a separate (mailing list) thread with a detailed explanation of what you intend to do.


Yes, although I also read a warning about using these cross-stores somewhere, so I was thinking of rolling my own.

If I encountered the same warning, I honestly can't remember it. :-)


The core data UUID would probably also be temporary with the way I am currently creating my objects (because I wouldn't have saved yet), so I would need something persistent.

I don't think adding a UUID hurts anything, honestly, so if it simplifies things for you, go for it.


Yes, well it is fairly complex... but it looks like core data is not a good fit since a basic requirement is that I need it to store nested arrays of immutable objects and keep the order (I also need to allow those objects to be inserted at multiple points in the array). The immutability and the possibility of multiple entries make an order property unworkable.

Possibly, but you might be pleasantly surprised (not a knowing hint, just an honest possibility :-)). If you can, try to explain your needs. Someone might just have a good suggestion (or solid reasons why not).
