[MacRuby-devel] NSUserDefaults and registerDefaults

[Erik Lundqvist]

Hi All,

It's time for my first newbie question :)
Trying to save some default values for user preferences, but failing pretty
hard. I was hoping someone would have successfully used NSUserDefaults
registerDefaults, and could point me in the right direction.

    def applicationDidFinishLaunching(a_notification)

        app_defaults = {"wcff.magic_key" => "hello world"}

        NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults.registerDefaults(app_defaults)

        NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults.synchronize

    end


Elsewhere in the code...


        @magic_key = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults["wcff.magic_key"]

        puts "magic_key#{@magic_key}"


It just prints out "magic_key"...


Actually setting a value in standardUserDefaults seems to work fine, like
this

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults["wcff.magic_key"] = "hello you"

But I want a default


Anyone?
