I’m surprised that works. I think I was in a similar situation about 4 years
ago.

To summarize, what worked for me is to
• Create my dialogs or whatever in an doEarlyChores method.
• Override -application:openFile: to invoke the doEarlyChores method and return
NO.
• Also invoke the doEarlyChores method early in -applicationDidFinishLaunching.
• Put a lockout in doEarlyChores so it will only do its chores once.

Life is hard, Steve. That reminds of what a wise manager told our team at
times of crisis: “There’s never enough time to do it right [the first time],
but there will be always enough time to do it over [when the product fails in
the field].” :))
