I'm thoroughly confused about how to control document opening in Lion. My app can optionally show a dialog at startup instead of opening a new 'untitled' document. The dialog displays templates, in the same manner as Pages, etc. When this dialog is shown, as controlled by a user default, I need to suppress the opening of the 'untitled' document. In 10.6 and earlier I did this using the app delegate method:
- (BOOL) applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile:(NSApplication*) sender Which worked fine. However, on Lion this isn't called reliably. It sometimes is, and sometimes isn't, and I am having a hard time figuring out when to expect it, or when I should display the dialog (I do it in -applicationDidFinishLaunching:) Even when -applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile: returns YES, I sometimes DON'T get an untitled document. (I always do on 10.6). At other times, I show my dialog, and end up with TWO documents also opening - an untitled one, and whatever I was working on in the previous session. Is this whole mess borked in 10.7, or has it just been superseded? How should one go about correctly allowing a dialog to be shown at startup in the new regime? I've been over the latest documentation and release notes but to be honest I'm none the wiser. Please, can somebody explain the opening sequence in words of one syllable such that a mere mortal can make sense of it!! --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
