Folks;

I have an application which will have an optional helper NSStatusItem.
The statusItem is a stand-alone application which can be installed as a LoginItem.

I want this status item to be able to read the preferences file from the application. The user sets a number of preferences in the normal app which influence both how the app and the status item should behave.

I'm under the clear impression that I should not use the same bundleIdentifer for the application and the statusItem.
They could both be running at the same time...
Yet the bundleIdentifier seems to be the key to the file that [NSUserDefaults sharedDefaults] opens..

This not a managed environment nor is this issue related to users or hosts, so it doesn't seem that CFPreferences is called for (or even helps!)

How can I get the statusItem to read the application's preferences?

Thanks!
Steve
