Re: Starting window instead of a new untitled document?

But now I'd like to implement a "getting started" window that prompts the user to create a new file or open an existing one. I want this window to appear ONLY when the application is started without opening an existing document. Searching the archives, the advice has been to create this window in applicationWillFinishLaunching:. But I don't want to see the window every time. I only want it to appear if the application was launched without a document to open.



Is there a better way?

Why not just put a call to display your "getting started" window from -applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile:?


You could still return NO in that case, and then won't need to rewrite what you already have.

I'm not sure if -awakeFromNib has already been called by the time - applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile: is (you'd have to test that one), but if it's not you could just delay the call to display your window in that case.
