Hi, I did a bit of studying about save/restoring networks in general and it’s not that straight forward if you want a self-referential put back in place after it is restored. From looking at what the standard archiver/unarchiver does it is exactly what I want for now and is really fast and easy to use (although having to ensure everything conforms to NSCoding is a bit of a pain - see below).
We do need a more flexible way of doing it though but I think we will use this for now and develop an SQLite database, this has the advantage of being totally portable. We can use the archive file format to store networks until we are ready to commit them to the database. I’m really impressed with the speed of the archiver though and I’m pleased you suggest I use it. One thing that would be super cool is if there was a property attribute for this, e.g. @property (nonatomic,copy,archive) NSString* pString; And it would synthesize the initWithCoder, encodeWithCoder and copyWithZone methods. Thanks again All the Best Dave _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
