The point of Library/Caches is that the data can disappear at any time.

In that case, I would put that data in the Resources folder inside the app bundle, but put the fresh data in Library/Application Support, and defer to data in that location if present. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
