Why are you initializing your window controller with a window, and a nil window at that, rather than with a nib name? If you want the window controller to load the window to be controlled from a nib, tell it to do that directly.

That's the problem, see beginning of this thread. The initial problem was that regardless of what initializer I used, none would give me a window. I thought that if in the end all initializers of NSWindowController do call initWithWindow I try that. Someone else off- list was certain that init would only give me an object and not take care of all else that should be taken care of when initializing a window controller.

        [...]
}

- (id)initWithWindow:(NSWindow *)aWindow
{
        if ((self = [super initWithWindow:aWindow])){
                [NSBundle loadNibNamed:[self windowNibName] owner:self];
                return self;
        }
        return nil;
}

You don't need to override the initWithWindow: method. The usual pattern with window controller subclasses is to either: 1) don't override any of the initializers (at least not for the purpose of nib loading) and instead have the code with allocates and initializes the object invoke -initWithWindowNibName:, or 2) override plain old -init and have the subclass hard-code the name of the nib it manages when it invokes [super initWithWindowNibName:YourNibName].

I think I go with the second option.

Thanks
Alex
