Thank you Jamie and Jason. Jamie's email has just panicked me as I've been using CFPreferences rather than NSUserDefaults. It's a system preference pane and I understood that CFPreferences was the way to do this. The documents for CFPreferences kept on saying not to synchronize regularly, so I thought that when synching when the window closed would be a good option.

That said, if I'm on the wrong track I can always change my strategy if there's a better way I missed?

Hi there,

I want to save preferences when the user either closes the preference pane window, clicks the show all button or quits system preferences. Can I just put the method call in the -(void)dealloc or is this a bad idea?

This is a bad idea. -(void)dealloc may never be called. You should do this in your pref pane subclass in the -(void)didUnselect or - (void)willUnselect functions.
