If I set an NSError in the method readFromURL of my NSDocument, I am not able to overwrite the NSLocalizedDescriptionKey.
If have the following code in that method:

- (BOOL)readFromURL:(NSURL *)absoluteURL ofType:(NSString *)typeName error:(NSError **)outError
{
NSArray *objArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Description", @"FailureReason", @"RecoverySuggestion", nil]; NSArray *keyArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey, NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey, NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestionErrorKey, nil]; NSDictionary *eDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objArray forKeys:keyArray];
                
        // fill outError
*outError = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"myDomain" code:1 userInfo:eDict];
        return NO;              
}

Unfortunately only the strings of the keys NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey and NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestionErrorKey are displayed together with a standard error text. My own localizedDescription ("Description") is not displayed. Instead I got the standard error text "The document <xyz> could not be opened. FailureReason RecoverySuggestion". Is this a bug, that the string with the key NSLocalizedDescriptionKey is always overwritten before displayed or not displayed at all, if set in readFromURL or is this feature somewhere documented? I could not find anything regarding this at apple.

Thanks for any help
Konrad
