a. I'm not sure how 'loadWindow' got into this discussion -- the documentation says not to call 'loadWindow' directly but to call 'window' instead and let *it* call 'loadWindow'.
You're right, my mistake. I was responding to Jean-Daniel's message ("And the -[NSWindowController window] and -[NSWindowController loadWindow] confirms that windowDidLoad is invoke only when the nib has finish loading.") and got my own wires crossed.
b. 'window' won't return (presumably because an underlying 'loadNib...' doesn't return) until the NIB is completely loaded, including all the invocations of 'awakeFromNib' and the invocation of 'windowDidLoad'. AFAIK it's perfectly safe to invoke 'window' immediately after creating the window controller, or even during the window controller's init method (I've done both without problems).
Good point.
c. A couple of weeks ago on this list, one of our Apple experts (Luke, maybe, but I can't remember for sure) said to use the more specialized method (such as 'windowDidLoad') *instead of* the generic 'awakeFromNib', if the class has it.
I missed that thread. Do you happen to know some keywords from the subject?
