Hi,

That's what my projects are. I tried a totally new from-scratch skeleton
app and it does work (just to prove the OS is not broken, it just
expects "something"(.
I can think of some potential undocumented “rules” which have changed between
Mac OS versions:
* the location of the menu items in the NSMenu
* the selector of the Recent Menu’s item (might have to be a specific one)
* the menu might have (had) to be “preinitialised” with empty entries
* if your subclass NSDocument, there might be a fixed name for the (internal)
method(s) that handle the recent items - so if you overwrite some public method
it might break recent items because the NSDocument’s internal method isn’t
called any more
* the format of storage in the NSUserDefaults
So there is some relation between the NIB template for a DBA and NSDocument. A
NIB file just “inherited” from older development systems might be broken on
newer ones.
I.e. you could try to rebuild the NIB file from a fresh template (to save work
it could remain incomplete) and check if the recent items behave differently.
If they do it is a hint where to look deeper.
I tried making a minimal new MainMenu.nib, no help. I also tried to
remove "Open Recent". AppKit will re-insert it if there is an "Open..."
one :) That way the selectors should be certainly right: AppKit itself
put them in!
I removed the NSUserDefaults. It had no recent documents inside anyway.
The path that remains most probable is this NSDocument, the only thing I
subclass. But what could be missing?? Or what could I have overridden
that Apple doesn't like anymore?
