Attempt to insert non-property value Warning in Info

Could someone shed some light on this warning for me;

I am creating an empty array and then adding an object, in the case the current window, procs_window and I get a warning as follows:

*** -[NSUserDefaults setObject:forKey:]: Attempt to insert non-property value '(
"[object TiUIWindow]"
)' of class '__NSArrayM'.

Code excerpt:

var procs_window = Titanium.UI.currentWindow;
var appwindows = [];
appwindows.push(procs_window);
Titanium.App.Properties.setList('appwindows', appwindows);

have also tried below with same warning:

var appwindows = [];
var procs_window = Titanium.UI.currentWindow;
appwindows[0] = procs_window;
Titanium.App.Properties.setList('appwindows', appwindows);

you are not going to be able to store the window objects in the Titanium.App.Properties.

My suggestion is that you just create a global variable that holds the window list.

Also properties are persisted across application sessions, is that what you really wanted to do with the window list?

- @Aaron - thank you for the reply. I was managing the properties with removeProptery(). I am storing the windows in an array to loop through and close them when I get to the last window of a tabGroup. See my previous q here: http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/83711/closing-all-windows-under-a-tabgroup—need-help
  
  How can I set a global array in Appcelerator?

- i think i responded to the original question :-) I think the solution I posted above will work for you

- @Aaron it appears that as I transcend each new window the array loses its content. See below output from the info window in Titanium.
```
[INFO] (
"[object TiUIWindow]"
)
[INFO] 1
[INFO] (
"[object TiUIWindow]"
)
[INFO] 1
[INFO] (

  The CGImageCreateWithImageProvider is a bug with the MapViews

- I am going to see if I create the array in app.js and pass the array to each window via win.windowList and push items into it at each window.

here is one way to create a global window list

// myGlobal.js
myGlobals = {
    windowList : new Array()
};

then every js where you want to use the globals, just include the file and use it

Titanium.include('myGlobals.js');

var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    title : 'Tab 1',
    backgroundColor : '#fff'
});

myGlobals.windowList.push(win1);
Ti.API.info(myGlobals.windowList);
Ti.API.info(myGlobals.windowList.length);
