Hi Koen, Is your window set to be visible at launch (i.e. in IB)? Try making it not visible at launch, and then ordering it onscreen after the nib is loaded. That should allow all the awakeFromNib methods to run before the window appears.
Hope that helps, -Peter On Aug 16, 2012, at 3:53 PM, Koen van der Drift <koenvanderdr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have an NSPopupButton that is bound to an NSArrayController in IB as > follows: > > Content -> ac.arrangedObjects > ContentValue -> ac.arrangedObjects.name > SelectedObject -> File's Owner.self.currentObject > > The ac is bound to entities that are in my CD store (which are created when > the app starts up for the first time, following the code example for the > "Type" entity in the Grokking Recipes app from Zarra's Core Data book).
