Your problem is that you have two separate Progress objects (or possibly
only one Progress object that doesn't point to anything). The Progress
object that you alloc in appDidFinish has nothing to do with your NIB and no
knowledge of your NIB objects.
NIB-loaded objects all have to be tied together. Cocoa has no way to
magically know that you want this Progress object to be wired to particular
controls. If you check progressPanel, you will find that it is nil.
To solve this, Progress needs to be instantiated in the NIB and wired into
Controller. You may want to rethink Progress a bit and decide if it's really
ProgressController, ProgressWindow, or ProgressWindowController. It looks a
lot like an NSWindowController.
