Hi all,

My document model is Core Data based. When a new document is created, I must 
initialize the model to contain several objects with default values.

I followed Apple's "Departments" example:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/NSPersistentDocumentTutorial/04_Department/department.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002832-SW1

At that page, it explains how to create a new Department object when a new 
document is created. It does so by implementing -(id)initWithType:error: in the 
MyDocument class, which is a NSPersistentDocument subclass, just like my own 
app's document class.

However, initWithType:error is never called for new document creation (or any 
document creation for that matter). I placed a breakpoint inside the method and 
execution does not pause there. Instead, -(id)init gets called. This is a 
problem because -(id)init is called when documents are opened as well as 
created from scratch.

My questions are:
1. Have I overlooked something?
2. Is there a better way to initialize new Core Data models to a known state? 
(Yes, I know I can create a whole model in code, a la the Core Data Utility 
example, but I mean when using NSPersistentDocument.)

Thanks,
Soong
