Ignoring certain notifiers

Question

Hello,Is there a way to ignore notifiers specifically caused by the plugin? For example, I'd like to be able to change layer visibility via my plugin, but I'd like it NOT to cause a notifier to be sent. However, I am interested in receiving a notifier when a user changes layer visibility via the layers palette.I've tried disabling the notifier prior to changing the layer's visibility, but the notifier is still sent after my plugin returns. Right now I have a bad hack set up where layer notifications (specifically kAILayerOptionsNotifier) are ignored if it occurs within a certain time period.Does notifyData from the Notifier contain anything particularly useful on layer set and options events?Thanks!--josh

Hmm, I would have thought disabling a notifier and then turning it back on would do the trick -- I'm surprised it follows up with another notifier. I could have sworn it didn't work that way. Are you sure its not some other layer notification? The layer properties notifier covers a lot of things (which is a little silly, I know).

And as far as I know, there's nothing useful in the notifier data. Don't hold me to this, but I think that one sends you a number that just always increases. Not much use.
