I had hoped this meant that NSApp cleverly displayed the error as a
sheet on the document window and waited for it to be dismissed. In
fact, if you send presentError: to a NSDocument you get an
application-modal alert.
Actually, the comment for presentError: says "Present an error alert
to the user, as an application-modal panel"; it's
presentError:modalForWindow:delegate:didPresentSelector:contextInfo:
that puts up a doc-modal panel.
Indeed, it says both those things. Parsing it a bit more pedantically,
though, it actually says that NSResponder's implementation is
application-modal, and NSApplication's is document-modal. (And at
least in the Xcode documentation set, there's no documentation for
presentError: in the NSApplication class reference.)
But this was all wishful thinking on my part. It's apparently just a
small typo.
