NSUserDefaultsController keys return nil
I'm trying to implement a preference panel. I have an NSTextField that is bound to the Shared User Defaults Controller . The controller key is values and the Model Key Path is FolderPath .
Every time I try to access that value in code, the string is nil:
NSString *s = [[[NSUserDefaultsController sharedUserDefaultsController] defaults] stringForKey:@"FolderPath"];
NSLog(s);
If I set a default dictionary, the value in the text box displays it properly, but it is still nil when retrieving it again.
NSDictionary *appDefaults = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"foo"
forKey:@"FolderPath"];
[[NSUserDefaultsController sharedUserDefaultsController] setInitialValues:appDefaults];
Am I missing something basic here?
Do you ever send this user defaults controller a -save: message? If not, the values you set probably aren't being saved.
