Ah, but the crux of my question is that I don't have "the next one to show". I don't know what the window will look like when selecting a different core data entity until I select it, and by then it's too late. That's why I'm
asking for a strategy...

Have you tried creating an NSTabView, containing the same views on two different pages? There's sample code that does the effects to transition between two tabs.

Now you may think: "I already told him I didn't have the second page.", but play along for a moment. If you can manage to load the new values only into the tab that isn't currently current, you'll have one view with the old image, and one with the new one. Then do the page curl and the new data will appear just as you like.

This is less scary than your window-based code, and could even be put into a generic, re-usable controller class that creates the tab view around your items and duplicates them on two tabs, and its accessors could change the currently visible view when you're not in a context where you want to animate.
