BTW, I forgot to mention those methods should return BOOLs. > Neither of these are feasible without actually running the archiving, > including calling all of the arbitrary -initWithCoder: and -encodeWithCoder: > methods. So they’d have all the same issues we’ve been discussing so far — > they’d have to use a try…catch block around the [un]archiving, basically. I don't think so, Jens. "They" is Apple. Apple has the source code for -initWithCoder: and -encodeWithCoder:. They could remove the lines of code where those exceptions are created and return NO instead. Anyhow, Apple is smarter than me, and they've clearly got the resources to handle this as well as fix the more important bugs in Lion that I'm holding my breath waiting for them to fix :)) So I filed an Enhancement - Apple Bug ID# 9870474 asking for those two methods. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
