Hey everybody,
I'm in the very early stages of writing a headless app which is entirely
configured via a pref-pane. This morning I did a quick throwaway app reading
some simple settings via user defaults bindings, and changing those settings
while the app runs via the command line 'defaults' app. The defaults are
written, but the running app never knows that the defaults changed. It has to
be relaunched to find out that values changed.
Now my intent is for a pref pane to set the defaults, and for the headless app
to know when those defaults change and change its behavior accordingly. So I
need some way to let the app know its defaults have changed.
So first off, is there some built-in way to simply 'goose' the app and cause
its defaults bindings to trigger?
If not, what's the best practice here? And if I were to use some sort of apple
event fired from the prefpane or some other technique to let the app know its
defaults have changed, how do I get the user defaults controller in the
headless app to apply the updates?
Thanks,
