It's really frustrating. The examples I find either don't seem to fit what I'd like to do (NSMutableArray - NSArrayController - NSTableView). And/or they use ancient versions of IB (which keeps changing). Or they don't use IB at all. Or, like me, they just mention some settings, but ignore others - like "Table View Attributes >> Control >> State: Enabled" or "Array Controller Attributes >> Object Controller >> Editable (yes)". Sometimes I see columns bound. Sometimes ControllerKey is "selections" sometimes it's "arrangedObjects". And nothing works. The documentation only makes sense when you know exactly what it's talking about. :-(
Use arrangedObjects, not selection. You'd bind to arrayController.selection if you were doing a master-detail kind of interface. In your case, you're showing all of the "arranged" (possibly sorted and filtered) content, hence arrayController.arrangedObjects.
You have another problem. Your array controller is going to get unarchived before the flow of control reaches applicationDidFinishLaunching and your content array is created. That means the array controller's content is nil, and that's never going to change because you're updating the "elements" property non-KVO- compliantly in applicationDidFinishLaunching.
In the short term you could try re-setting the array controller's content array programmatically at the end of applicationDidFinishLaunching. That's not really the correct answer, though. The correct answer probably involves moving your window to its own XIB file, and sorting out your KVO compliance issues.
