Many thanks! Having a separate delegate for the large document-listing menus sounds a reasonable solution. That will just be one extra delegate in the MainMenu.nib to handle this and it should fix all my issues - so thank you! One final question, I promise: does this apply to contextual menus, too, or only the main menu?
Thanks again and all the best,
Keith
