It happens in the NSPersistentDocument initialization -- the NSDocumentController isn't involved beyond triggering the creation of the document. > Regarding the second part, yes I'm planning on setting up another > windowController and when I show the second window moving the > managedObjectContext over to it.

I believe that undo etc weren't working because your window controller wasn't in the document's windowControllers array. Note that if you're planning on allowing editing in both places, you have a whole other set of issues to do with, to keep the two views of the document contents in sync. I'm back to thinking this might be a bit misguided from the UI point of view. Presumably you have something in the preview window that lets you select which document to preview. Why not just leave that much in the preview window and just let that window open and close real document windows to do the "preview"? What's the payoff from integrating both into a single window (and is it big enough to justify the development time)? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
