Thanks Quincey - of course I can do exactly what you say - pick up the fact
that they are importing right at the start, ask them where they want the
converted file, put it there and open it. Simple and foolproof. Sometimes I
can't see the wood for the trees!
setFileURL:nil always worked before,

Answers:
1. It could come from a File/Open, or them opening that file from the Finder,
or from a File/Import command (the import one just calls the document
controller's openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error anyway, so they all go
through the same mechanism)
2. The file needing conversion
Yes, I did think of putting it elsewhere, but I would have thought the problem
would be the same. Say I overrode the NSDocumentController
openDocumentWidhContentsOfURL:ofType:error: and had that do the conversion to
my native document type, then call the NSDocumentController implementation, it

I think maybe my explanation could be clearer. Here's the flow:
1. User initiates import of file of type "fred"
2. I pick that up in -readFromURL:ofType:error:, and spawn a process which
converts files of type "fred" to type "myfiletype", the native file type of the
application. Let's say that i
