My app is not document based. But that's just what Apple's documentation says for [NSDocumentController noteNewRecentDocumentURL:] "NSDocument automatically calls this method when appropriate for NSDocument-based applications. Applications not based onNSDocument must also implement the application:openFile: method in the application delegate to handle requests from the Open Recent menu command." I can't at the moment find the Apple sample code where I derived this from. But my app does just these two things: [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] noteNewRecentDocumentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath: filename]]; to add entries to the recent documents menu, and implement - (BOOL)application:(NSApplication *)theApplication openFile:(NSString *)filename to open files. It works flawlessly on OS X. Tim _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
