AFAIK, NSDocumentController has the only API for the “Open Recent”

delegate’s actions for the New and Open menu commands to my
NSDocumentController subclass, but they wouldn’t activate until I
forced them with an override of the user-interface validation
method. It now seems understandable; since the controller can’t find
any NSDocument stuff, it shuts out any method that needs the
architecture. The “Open Recent” menu API has a NSDocument-based and
an URL-based entry API; the latter meant for non-NSDocument apps to
use.
But I saw something weird one time running my app through the Xcode
debugger after a previous crash. I saw an NSLog message complaining
about app restore data. I think NSDocumentController does app-
restore actions even without an NSDocument architecture. Is this
documented? What APIs can I use to control this? Are there other
automatic actions NSDocumentController (or a subclass) does when
initialized? (I just need it for the “Open Recent” menu, so I want
to shut down, or at least check myself, any other automation.)
[1] For writing new entries. If you started with
NSDocumentController, then rip it out, the “Open Recent” menu stays,
unchanging but functional. (I never tried the “Clear Menu” option
during that period.)

Hi,
If the Open Recent menu is all you are after, maybe the problem is in
the subclassing of NSDocumentController. Just leave that out.
For me this one-liner has always worked:
[[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController]
noteNewRecentDocumentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath]];
... called whenever I create a new item or open an existing one.
