I am writing an app that uses NSKeyedArchiver to save its data. Should my file be ishotTrack.plist or ishotTrack.arch?

The archives created with NSKeyedArchiver are binary property lists, so it makes sense to use plist file name extension. On the other hand they aren't human-readable, so opening the plist won't help anybody much.

    I had some experience with this recently, and XCode was happy to open the plist files in question and display them in its familiar key-value table format. – Julian Richardson Mar 28 '12 at 03:17
