I'm not sure I had reached that decision. I have now been able to reproduce the 
problem with a bare-bones core data document app. But still I wonder if it is 
something to do with my model (which is now a fraction of the model from the 
original app). I notice on 10.8 that if I remove an object from the tree 
controller then I have to hit save twice to make the 'document dirty' spot 
disappear, hinting that there is something still wrong on 10.8, but it's swept 
under the carpet, whereas on 10.6.8 it isn't.

Maybe - see above.

Could you hint how to do that? A category on NSTreeController? Will 
-autorelease work with ARC?

That's a bit my problem too. Mixed metaphors not withstanding, I wonder if I'm 
just following a red herring down a dead end.

I'll keep digging at my bare bones test app to see if I can fix the issue. 
Maybe the next step is to drop back from an outlineview+treecontroller to a 
table+arraycontroller.

Thanks again for your  thoughts,

Martin

p.s. I could post the test app if anyone wishes to see it.
