Since we’ll be changing future databases to store the data as our own “PIColor” that can be made into an NSColor/UIColor, the issue isn’t all that important for long/term/future - but simply backups made already from the last 5 years.
So if there is a way that we can get it working 9 times out of 10 - just to convert backups - then I’m OK with that. > On Feb 20, 2015, at 2:48 PM, Quincey Morris > <quinceymor...@rivergatesoftware.com> wrote: > > On Feb 20, 2015, at 11:15 , Alex Kac <a...@webis.net <mailto:a...@webis.net>> > wrote: >> >> So with that in mind, has anyone tackled a conversion process of reading in >> UIColor data into NSColor via CoreData? > > I suspect that *really* solving this is going to be impossible. > > When you say “UIColor data”, do you mean the data resulting from archiving a > UIColor object, or did you use something else to put it in the CoreData > store?
