[ For the musician it will be essential to be able to easily
[ transfer their presets from MacOS 9 to the AU-side.
Can this be handled with an "import" or "convert" option? I don't think the
new format should be restricted by compatibility with the old, especially not
when CFPreferences provides so much.
On the one hand, it would be convenient to have files that could be moved
around in the Finder, but on the other hand the preset organization would be
more powerful inside the NSUserDefaults/CFPreferences scheme.
Does anyone know if there is a practical limit on how much data should be
stored in defaults/preferences before you're better off saving individual
files? The defaults system has traditionally been used for rather short pieces
of information (boolean flags, group of numbers, pathnames), but I'm sure I've
seen Apple storing some pretty large binary data chunks in preferences...
