Thanks Laurent. That flushed out the problem. When re-opening classes across
multiple files, I was not declaring the superclass relationship again. e.g.
FILE 1:
class A < NSDocument
…
end
FILE 2:
class A
…
end
When the Ruby compiler sees FILE 2 it already knows A is a subclass of
NSDocument. But the Interface Builder parser obviously treats files in
isolation and needs to be told about that relationship in each file.
Problem solved.
Paul
