LOL - all of what you just described was the hair-pulling extravaganza
that led me to a more detailed look at File's Owner in the first
place. Several weeks ago I was trying to get my model object out of
the nib, or more specifically, to figure out how to connect the
controller to it if there was no nib NSObject that had the Class
Identity of the class that contained my Model objects.
I thought - aha, maybe this is what File's Owner is for, BECAUSE...
you see many tutorials and examples of Cocoa Bindings where the author
tells the reader to connect something to File's Owner. I thought maybe
if you bind to File's Owner, it knows about all the keys in all of the
objects in all of the classes of the app, so that you could just use
File's Owner as the controller that the View object bound to, and
write aClass.aKey as the Model Key Path.
I have since realized that I need to just make a separate class for
the model objects in Xcode (what I was doing, without realizing it,
was having my one class actually be the app controller as well as the
Model). Then just flat-out explicitly instantiate that class in the
App Controller code. Now I have a name for the Model class' instance.
Then in the bindings for my View Object, I can bind it to my
NSArrayController's "selection" binding and set the model key path to
myModelInstance.myModelKeyName.
Took about a month of 16-hour days to get that down.

I know this is a bit silly, for a singleton like that you may as well
just put the model in there, but I'm trying to figure out if you
didn't, what the right way to hook it up to the controller is later.
