Yikes. Apple already did this for you. Playing with these methods is not any fun.
Works like a charm.
Well, except for the trouble you discovered later...
But is this the "right" way to go, or is there a more cocoa-ish way to do it using?
I believe there is a better way...
One thing that leads me to this question is that I can't seem to find simple a way to hook up File->Open Recent. Documentation says of -noteNewRecentDocumentURL:(NSURL *)aURL that "NSDocument automatically calls this method when appropriate for NSDocument-based applications."
Yes, and by the time you get this reply you may have discovered two or three more little features that don't work, and you're going to be spending the next two weeks re-implementing code for these and other features that would "just work" if you had used the Cocoa document architecture.
Is there a NSDocument method I should be overriding? It's probably obvious, but there is sooo much to read...
Try -[NSDocument readFromData:ofType:error:]. True, because you must read an sqlite database, you're not going to use the data that you are passed as an argument. But that's OK. It will be autoreleased and go away.
Unless you already did this and can remember how to un-hack all the things you hacked, it might be better to start over by clicking in the Xcode menu, File > New Project > Cocoa Document-Based Application and move your code into this new project. The default MyDocument.m file will contain a skeleton implementation of [NSDocument - readFromData:ofType:error:]. Put your findDatabase code in there.
Unfortunately, I can't promise that taking my advice will make everything wonderful, because whenever you can't use the Cocoa architectures exactly as Apple had intended you're going to find things that need patching. But I believe that the more you can "stick with the program", the less work you'll ultimately have to do.
