It sounds like you’re Doing It Wrong™. Well, sorta j/k, but seriously you’re overriding ‘finishLaunching’? From the NSApplicationDelegate protocol documentation: > "applicationDidFinishLaunching: > > "Delegates can implement this method to perform further initialization.

Both of those notifications, I would assume, are posted in ‘finishLaunching’, so your concept of “totally finished handling [NSApplication finishLaunching]” sounds flawed. In particular, putting up a modal dialog before invoking [super finishLaunching] — if that’s what you do — sounds like a bad idea. Why aren’t you doing the initialization in the delegate methods? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
