>From the name of the format in the error message I gather that you are complaining about an Apple bug here. Is this correct? What I cannot understand is your proposed solution to this problem. We should replace the method in the GNUstep extensions, but still call the Apple version of the same method in some cases? There may be way to do this, but this is clearly a dangerous proposal. Wouldn't it be easier to just convert property lists written on new Macs to be used on old installations of EOModeler? GNUstep should be able to do that conversion.
