Titanium.App.Properties.setList fails for objects?
I have been using Titanium.App.Properties.setList successfully with arrays of strings, but I can't make it work for a JS object with several key:value pairs. Isn't this an allowed use? This is with the new 1.0 bits.

I see now that I was wrong in trying to setList the {key:value} object itself. I see that I have to put the object into an array list, like this: Array[0]=Obj; and then setList the Array. Right?
UPDATE: putting the object into an array list, like this: Array[0]=Obj has been working for me under 1.0. This way I can setList the property and then getList the property in another window to pass the object, which has several key:value pairs.

Hi Bruce, that's right. Although I thought I encountered an issue whereby a single object wasn't getting stored because it wasn't getting recognised as an array of one. There are probably workarounds in JS to force that.

Actually researching this one again it might be better to assign the array to the window when it's created
similar to:
