Are there any circumstances other than a hard reset where "unsaved"
preferences should be lost (or overwritten)? I'm seeing evidence of this
in a new program I'm doing. Of potential interest is the fact that this
app uses multiple sets of preferences (using the id parameter), each of
which has different sizes.
Incidentally a documentation addendum: PrefGetAppPreferences returns an
Int16 which is described as being "noPreferenceFound" if the preference
resource is not found. Undocumented is the fact that if the resource IS
found, the routine returns the version number of the preference (as set
by the version parameter of PrefSetAppPreferences).
One more documentation addendum while I'm poking around:
PrefSetAppPreferences will DELETE a preference if either the prefSize
parameter is set to 0, or the prefs parameter is set to 0 (i.e., null
pointer in the latter case).
