Hey guys,

I have an array that appears in a NSTableView (table).

The array is called items.

When it starts up it already has a list of things in it, but the user can also add and delete items. What I am wondering is, how to save the state of the NSTableView for when the user starts the app again?

Thanks!

Write the array to your app's defaults. See the documentation on NSUserDefaults. (There's also a tutorial on Cocoa Dev Central about it.)

Is there any chance you could give me some sample code, I looked in the docs and at the tutorial but at am lost as to how I save this array into the prefs. Any help is appreciated!

NSUserDefaults works basically like an NSMutableDictionary, except it has methods to add ints, floats and BOOLs as well as objects. So to put an array in your prefs, it's quite simple:

Code:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:items forKey:@"ItemsArray"];
