    It's an Object Notation, so not specifically human readable, but serialised data. JSON would limit the editors or binary? Not really. I don't care if the int is a int32, int64, uint32, uint64, etc. Not particularly. I'm designing it using generic interfaces, so a data store can be anything...

    I'm currently designing how data could be stored on disk. The idea is that users will be able to view the data structure using the Finder and create/modify values using their preferred editors.

So the common performance issues of disk speed and RAM size apply. REALbasic apps also inherently tend to have a...

    I was thinking of trying to mimic the MacOS X menu bar. Maybe the "about" and "Preferences" items should be in the application menu. I don't really like that MacOS X still has a "File" and "Edit" menu. Shouldn't it be in the application menu?

    I'm developing an application framework for my own personal use. One iteration of the framework I have developed using REALbasic 5.5(and it should be easily ported to REALbasic 3.5 for system 7 support). I'm curious if my work might be useful for anyone in the community. The general concept is...
