Retaining an NSWindow size and state - looking for an elegant way to do this
I have a controller class which spawns a window when a certain condition occurs. This window can be closed by the user, moved around or resized.
Ideally, when this condition occurs, I'd like the window to re-open in the same spot the user closed it last time.
Looking for an elegant way to do this. Pointers (or references) will be most welcome.

I'm not sure I understand. You want to know how to move? setFrame, I think. The parameter is NSRect.

No, I can do that myself.
This is why I said "elegant". I thought there might be some Cocoa class that takes the snapshot of the windows location and/or if it's currently miniaturized and saves it into a pfile or something.

Do you need to store the rectangle somewhere and then read it and restore the view position?
Use NSUserDefaults. An example attached.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:@"Date and Time"];
[defaults synchronize];
NSDate *today = [defaults objectForKey:@"Date and Time"];
NSLog(@"Saved data: %@", today);
[pool drain];
return 0;
