OK, but how can I set the icon when I have no direct file associated?
Then it's bad GUI design. Apple's GUI guidelines explicitly state
that icons in the window bar must be associated with document files,
and that's exactly what I as a user would expect.
Except that, as he's already said, he doesn't _have_ a file to
associate with the window, much like omniweb. IMHO, there are valid
reasons to want an icon up there (i.e. for dragging a URL) that
doesn't correspond to a file; though I guess the guidelines could be
overly restrictive here.
And I also wonder, what if I want an icon, and the filename, but
not the full path, which setTitleWithRepresentedFilename: seems to
append forcefully :/
You know, one beautiful thing about Cocoa is that it makes it much
harder for developers to not stick to the guidelines, such making
for a more consistent user experience. ;-)
I haven't seen the guideline that says we should put the full path in
the window title. Can someone point me at it?
Thanx for your time,
I would give it away even happier were I not forced to read your
(and only your!) messages always twice in two mailing lists. :-

Most email programs can be set up to delete duplicates if it really
bothers you.
