Hi, I'm writing an app with two tables on one screen. The left table is a list of folders and the right table shows a list of files. When tapped on a row on the left, the right table will display the files belonging to that folder.

I'm using Core Data for storage. When the selection of folder changes, the fetch predicate of the right table's NSFetchedResultsController will change and perform a new fetch, then reload the table data. I used the following code snippet:

NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"list = %@",self.list];
[fetchedResultsController.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[self fetchedResultsController] performFetch:&error]) {   
    NSLog(@"Unresolved error %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]);
    abort();
}
[table reloadData];

However the fetch results are still the same. I've NSLog'ed "predicate" before and after the fetch, and they were correct with updated information. The fetch results stay the same as initial fetch (when view is loaded).

I'm not very familiar with the way Core Data fetches objects (is there a caching system?), but I've done similar things before(changing predicates, re-fetching data, and refreshing table) with single table views and everything went well.

If someone could gave me a hint I would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
