And said purging was 1 undo away to being brought back. >> So what are we supposed to do now? The regular print panel didn’t seem to >> have replacement dialogs for that stuff.

(Just use +[NSPrintInfo > sharedPrintInfo].) I added a runPageLayout: action to the window controller, and the menu command was enabled and it worked. I started with the -beginSheet… version, and later used the -runModal call, and both worked. I then added the same action to the app delegate (using -runModelWithPrintInfo:). Worked fine when a window was open, but that still used the window controller version. But when I had no windows, the menu item was disabled, just like my first post! I thought that putting an action in the app delegate (without an explicit validation routine) always enables the corresponding menu item. That’s what happened when I added newDocment: and openDocument: actions after purging the NSDocument code. But that didn’t happen here. Did Apple add an override, or is it a bug? And how can I fix it? — Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
