NSUserDefaults?
Thanks for your suggestion. Writing is fast, so I guess I could write in -close.
I'd prefer not to write if it's not necessary and it seems I can detect that
case reliably because -canCloseDocumentWithDelegate::: will be called if there
are unsaved changes and -close is called from within
-canCloseDocumentWithDelegate::: in that case. That could break in the future,
though.
Despite the future breakage risk I've decided to go with this solution. I'm not
using versions, autosave, sudden termination or iCloud at this point, so
modifing the package at the time the document is guaranteed to be finished with
its wrapper seems reasonably safe. Autosave has some nice features but overall
it doesn't seem worth the unavoidable trouble. My documents can get huge, saving
may take long, even making snapshots can take long (I do use asynchronous saving
and loading). Saving cancelability gives me a headache.
Thanks for the suggestion, guys!
Regards
Markus
