The documents 'description' method is overridden to return the display
name, but in the popup button I get a generic object description like
<MyVolume: 0x0354a3>. The weird thing is that this worked (showed
the file name) when I originally implemented it, but stopped working
for reasons I have been unable to identify.

I know I should file an enhancement bug, but could this be fixed to
send -description to super first? Or otherwise give the hint that this
is not the object you think it is talking? Glad I read this thread...
isa swizzling is cool, but weird.


The best fix for the moment is to change the method name from -description to something else. Right now when automatic KVO is enabled for a class, and the object is being observed the -description method behaves differently than it does otherwise.
