Greetings Cocoa-devs!

My app ships as a System Preferences preference pane that contains a faceless agent app inside it's bundle. The agent app provides all of the functionality for my app. The prefpane stores preferences in the plist file for my app (rather than that for the host System Preferences app). I've been able to make this work by sending persistentDomainForName: to the shared instance of NSUserDefaults.

Now i'm trying to use bindings in order to simplify displaying a collection of dictionaries in an NSTable. I can see my preference data via an NSUserDefaultsController if i initialize it like this where defaultsController is actually an instance of NSObjectController:

NSUserDefaults *defaultsInstance = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
        [defaultsInstance addSuiteNamed:DOMAIN];
NSUserDefaultsController *controller = [[NSUserDefaultsController alloc] initWithDefaults: defaultsInstance initialValues: nil];
        [defaultsController setContent:controller];

My NSTable shows the correct data, but when i update the information it is persisted back to the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file, and not the plist file for my app. Craig Hockenberry posted a similar question about 3.5 years ago (http://tinyurl.com/5upqnp) without receiving many responses and google has so far turned up very little.

Is there a way for me to bind my preferences to my view that's hosted in another app (in this case System Preferences?).

Thank you so much,
Keith Alperin
