There’s no correct answer to these questions. It’s a design problem whose answer is whatever works best in your use case. I’d recommend you start by choosing what looks to you like the most straightforward approach, then be prepared to revise your strategy later if it doesn’t work out well. (The amount of code relating to file wrappers is likely to be small relative to the code that generally maintains your data model, so rewriting it shouldn’t be onerous. However, that suggests it would be prudent not to let the wrappers propagate too deeply into the model. Keep them as an artifact of the save mechanism in particular, rather than the data model in general.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
