I cannot find the bug where it was added, but it's been true since at least 10.5. Will NSUserDefaults ever synchronize itself itself in an app without an > NSApplication? If so, when and how? If not, the docs need to be ammended. Yes, it's NSTimer based. Your app must be running the run loop for the synchronization to occur. -Ken _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
