You can do it that way, or you can let a NSDocument subclass handle multiple types if they are quite similar, or a bit of both. i.e. it depends. In my app I have one document subclass for a number of filetypes, because they all end up as the same document type with the same internal data model. > Is it true that all n document types will have a common extension but will be > identified by the Document types entires? If they all have the same extension then the system can't distinguish when a file is opened by your app what document object class it should instantiate, so that won't work. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
