OK, I'm quite comfortable with Cocoa/ObjC, but up to this point I have not made use of the defaults system. I am already reading and writing to the standard user defaults, so I'm off to a good start.
My question is: When someone runs the app for the first time obviously the defaults plist doesn't exist yet. I'm assuming there's a way to check for the existence of the file, and if not provide a default set of preferences. I've browsed some sample code and have some ideas but wondered how you all handle this situation. Thanks!

There's no need for you to check for the existence of any files. Use registerDefaults: to register the values that you want to be there if the user hasn't set anything.

Thanks, I was just reading about registerDefaults when I checked the forum. Appreciate it!
