Ah, yes, sorry, I didn't read the thread back far enough. And I should have known better, seeing as I asked about this myself in 2005: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/12/23/153070 I got the highly useful answer "that's just how it works". So I asked again earlier this year: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/4/17/204429 The particular reason for my re-asking was that I had discovered that NSArrayController doesn't bother to populate its before/after values properly. Given this glaring bug, and Keary's pertinent question: "why are NSController and its subclasses (because this problem, IIRC, effects all NSController classes) broken by design, and not fixed even after two full OS releases?", although I hesitate to recommend it, I just can't believe that the will/did hack will break anything, despite mmalc's protestations.
