An alternate solution would be to rev the preferences version and to
check the version of the stored preferences if any. That way your
start code would be:
- Load existing preferences
- if either (no preferences found) or (old version preferences found)
- Store new version default preferences or convert the old
preferences to the new form
- Continue with start up.
This way as your application evolves it will adapt older version
preferences over.
Cheers,
Bruce.
