In real-life apps, which do complicated things on multiple threads, removing KVO and notification observations at the appropriate time is often tricky. Ad hoc kludges are sometimes needed to supplement obvious design patterns such as "remove observers during -dealloc". It looks like you're proposing a "smart" wrapper around the singleton NSNotificationCenter, and this is going to reduce the amount of code you write. Using a delegate or making these 26 classes inherit from a common superclass might be another way. Every app is different. It seems like you've thought this through. I would say to go ahead with it. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
