But I understand (I think) also that, in a Core Data document-based application, the application delegate is set to one provided by Core Data. And in such cases, providing my own delegate breaks Core Data functionality that I'd otherwise get for free.

The Core Data Application Xcode template does create an class that is hooked up as the application delegate. However you are certainly free to add code to it or replace it with your own delegate, as long as your delegate also provides the functionality that the generated template delegate does (setting up Core Data stack, etc). The default delegate isn't so much "provided by Core Data" as it is "an default generated for you by Xcode."

Thanks for the reply. I've seen this information about the existence of the default delegate elsewhere, but I can't seem to find any information about the delegate itself. Indeed, whenever I ask NSApp what the delegate is (by using NSLog and [NSApp delegate]), it reports that the delegate is null. I've tried searching the docs and Googling the Web, to no avail. Do you know of any documentation for this?

Thanks again,
