My application has system wide preferences that stores them in a text

Chuck's database suggestion is about as general solution as exists.
But you do know that a WO app will automatically read a file named
"Properties" that is included in the project and installed in the app's
woa directory, right? Besides storing simple key-value string pairs,
it can also store array and dictionary values as property lists that
can be parsed using NSPropertyListSerialization's methods. This is
pretty convenient.
Reading about how you can have multiple instances on the same machine
will be ok as the preferences will be on the same file system,
although if I change a preference in one instance, how does it
propogate through to the others?
You can launch each instance with a launch argument that will override
any value defined in the Properties file. Or the Properties file can
be updated in a text editor and the instance restarted.
But if I add another machine then the preference file would be
duplicated, unless I was able to store it on a shared volume
somewhere.
The Properties file will be installed with each application, so you
don't need to worry about duplicating it.
