Two things:
1) when I typed "NSArrayController" into the search field on the ADC
site, I got 209 possible places where you could begin your search for
info on how to use NSArrayController bindings with
IKImageBrowserView. If none of these is sufficient or you are a
novice to the binding concept, I suggest that you put "Cocoa bindings"
into the ADC search field. This option netted me over 1060 places to
begin my search for enlightenment.
2) if you are not using a bound array controller, then you must be
using some sort of datasource object. The straightforward solution
would seem to be simply saving the data that your datasource object is
computing with when the application terminates and re-read said data
when the application starts. Is that not an option? (for example,
using the image-browser sample code from the ADC site, you might
simply save the array of objects kept in the variable "images")

hi douglas,
i am not using an array controller... my current method is copying
images to the pasteboard (they are produced images from within the
app) and writing them to a folder when they are dropped into the image
browser. i'm assuming it shouldn't be too difficult to incorporate an
array controller into what i have already to handle the arrangements
of the images and hopefully have no problem trying to get the
imagebrowser to read the array when it opens (it appears that the
IKImageBrowser class isn't documented very strongly), but i've never
used an array controller before. know of any tutorials off the top of
your head?

I will "assume" that you are using an array controller to handle

archive
the array controller's arrangedObjects (or content plus any filter
predicate) and save it to a file - perhaps using NSArray's handy-
dandy
-writeToFile:atomically: method.
if my assumption is wrong, then you'll need to provide details of
what you
are actually doing (for data-sourcing) and what you have tried
before you
asked your question.

topic says it all. i have installed an IKImageBrowser which
allows me
to drop images and reorder them. it would be great to be able to
automatically save the dropped images as well as their order so that
the next time the app starts and the image browser loads up
everything
is still there.
can someone please direct me to where i should be looking to
accomplish this? any known tutorials maybe?
thanks
