In two cases I have not been able to figure out what "File's Owner" does
in the Interface Builder window. In the case of a "document-based" app
built from the template, there seems to be no reason for the "File's Owner"
Icon in the IB MainMenu.nib window since nothing is connected to it; in
the second case of a straight Cocoa app, there does not seem to be any
reason for the "File's Owner" Icon since the real file's owner has to be
instantiated and the resulting blue cube icon is the one that connections
are made too. Not "File's Owner!" No doubt there is some explanation
somewhere hidden away concerning this, or even in plain view, but I have
not found it. Tried Sherlock and MarshmallowLibrarian to no avail. Hard
to believe "File's Owner" got no hits searching Developer! I also looked
at several other programs downloaded from Softrak before I was banned
there, and looked at all the connections, which verified that no
connections are being made to this "File's Owner" Icon--in either the
doc-based or straight Cocoa app. Any clues for this clueless beginner will
be chewed over closely. Thanks!
