'[NSDocument awakeFromNib]' is invoked because (or when, if you prefer) the document is File's Owner for the associated nib file. Your symptoms would suggest that it's being set as File's Owner when a File -> New... is done (since that's what you get for free when the application starts up) but not when a File -> Open... is done. Is it possible there are two nib files being used in these two situations? If you've set the document's window controller as File's Owner, then *it* will get the 'awakeFromNib' instead of the document. Also, as usual when an application mysteriously fails to do something, it's vital to check the log for exception error messages -- something I typically forget to do. Does any of that suggest anything helpful? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
