This feels like a workaround for not being able to get the data straight from the table view
Can I just point out something? NSTableView is a view - the clue is in the name. Thus interrogating it for data is a little silly, no?
You should always go back to the source (i.e. the data model) when you want something from it, don't ask the view, that's just not its job.
You would think that would work. I don't know why it doesn't but I've been here before.
The reason it doesn't work is because the table view only has one cell per column, and moves it around as new data is retrieved from the datasource and displayed. The table VIEW doesn't keep a copy of the data, so you can't ask it for it.
The only information you can ask the table view for is a) which rows are selected and b) what are the names/identifiers of the columns. From that you have what you need to go back to the actual data and do something with it.
