Re: Gorm is broken for some reason...

[Fred Kiefer]

After fixing some unrelated stuff I got around to look into the problem with 
NSSlider in Gorm.
The cause of the problem was the change in the instance variables in gui from 
float to CGFloat, this prevents the encoding/decoding from working correctly. 
As a quick workaround I added local variables of the old type as an 
intermediate storage for the values. In the long run we need to change from 
decodeValuesOfObjCTypes: to storing each value with the correct type separately.
A similar change to the one in NSSliderCell will also be needed for NSEvent, 
but luckily nobody will be storing events in an archive.

Pleas give this workaround a try,
Fred
