Thanks.

Your idea of storing this kind of meta-data in the database is interesting. Since I am a Cocoa and CD newbie, would you mind elaborating on your method please? For example, in which callback do you set the array controllers' selection? When do you save the current selection? How do you call setSelectionIndexes with "a delay of 0.0"? (Sorry if these are obvious questions).

Hi Martin,

I archive the selectionIndexes of the array controller and store them within thecore data document's metadata. I think you need to serialize (archive) the selectionIndexes to be able to save it either in NSUserDefaults or anywhere else.

When loading a CD document I check if the meta data have the appropriate entry, and if so, call the array controllers setSelectionIndexes method with a delay of 0.0 (to get it executed in the next run loop). Works like charm.

I have a core-data document-based application that uses a NSTableView with an NSArrayController as its data source. I have managed to figure out the magic IB incantations required to save the column sort, order and hidden data to the shared NSDeafulsController.

What I would like to do is to also save the current selection of the table across application invocations. I have tried the obvious: - bind the array controller's selected indexes to the Shared Defaults controller - no luck - bind the tableview's selected indexes to the Shared Defaults controller - no luck I even tried to get the select programmatically, but when I tried the callback methods I thought appropriate:
        - windowControllerDidLoadNib
        - applicationDidFinishLaunching
I found that the array controller was not yet loaded with data and therefore had no selection.
