Ok...So a bit more detail:

I am setting the content of the NSObjectController (which is an
IBOutlet) to a managed object that I've fetched in the
WindowControllerDidLoadNib method of my application.

I have one NSTextField in my NIB.  If I don't bind a value from the
ObjectController to the TextField, the app opens fine and no calls are
made during open to the two functions mentioned earlier
(willChangeValueForKey: and didChangeValueForKey:).

As soon as I bind the text field value to a key path (self.title or
just title) in the ObjectController, then the below methods are called
for each and every key in my ManagedObject.

The real question is this:  I'd like to set a "lastUpdated" key with
the current time when a change is made to the object.  Obviously,
opening the file doesn't constitute a change being made so I can't
have the currentTime being set upon file open without problems.

Thanks-
Jeff
