I am writing my first coredata application and am wondering what the recommended way is to populate initial data. Most coredata examples do a good job explaining binding and getting data from the UI but fail to refer to populating the initial data set.
I was looking at the background fetching example and would like to do something similar to the DataGenerator portion of this project but only the first time my application runs on a new installation. After that, the initial data should be populated and a new user can use the application normally each time they load it. Is there a recommended way to do this? It is only about 5mb of data or less. I was thinking I could even create an initial store myself and store it as a resource and then on load, check if the store exists and if not, copy from resource dir to Application Support dir so that it is there for all the next runs of the application. Would this be correct in Cocoa dev terms or is there a better way? thanks! _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
