I am working on a system preferences prefpane, and I'm thinking that storing my prefPanes preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist is a bad idea. Usually when I'm writing an app, my preferences are stored in there own .plist file named as defined by the bundle settings identifier. I've already written one prefPane and my preferences are stored in com.apple.systempreferences.plist. The problem Im anticipating now is that my prefernce keys may conflict with another prefPanes preference keys. So: How can I make my prefPane slap its preferences in its very own .plist thus avoiding the issue?

Thanx alot.

Your preference pane is a bundle loaded into the System Preferences App - so defaults don't work normally.
