I'm intrigued by the idea of creating a
preset-management plugin. I've been working up to
creating a few of my own custom QC objects myself.
Long way to go though, as I've only just started my
'Beginning MacOS X Programming' book ;)
I'm not sure how it would be possible to save presets
with the composition, however, unless they can somehow
be written on-the-fly into the file as
meta-information. The ideal might be to be able to
write presets into an XML file in
~/Library/Preferences.
You can have your plugins store data inline with the composition, no
separate files necessary.
Create a new Standard Apple Plugin -> QCPlugin with Internal Settings
and UI
then, look at these methods:
+ (NSArray*) plugInKeys
- (id) serializedValueForKey:(NSString*)key
- (void) setSerializedValue:(id)serializedValue forKey:(NSString*)key
These are what you need to store internal settings (presets) without
needing multiple files and all that stuff.
