I don't have any answers, but I was going to contribute some questions, then I realized that I don't quite understand the above. Apologies if you explained this in your original post. What's the mechanism that gets to step 1 in the above -- File | New? File | Open? File | Import? (Meaning, by the first two, the standard actions that get dispatched to NSDocumentController.) I assumed, from your statement that readFromURL:ofType:error: is invoked, that this was coming from a File | Open of the file to be converted. Is the file needing conversion a Core Data store? Or a non-Core Data file of some kind? (If the latter, I'm not sure why you think its safe to use NSPersistentDocument.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
