In my experience (and I’ve done this at least three times), creating an object model that can be “paged” in and out from disk is hard, and takes more development time than you think it will. It may not seem hard to get it mostly working, but you keep having to come back to it to fix bugs or handle edge cases. I’m not a big fan of Core Data, but if you’ve worked with it before I suspect you’ll find it more efficient to use it for this than to roll your own. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
