Did I? I must've missed that part. I thought I was just mentioning what
I like about window controllers (which I admit is pretty offensive
behaviour, for which I apologise).
I think my suggestion is a more clean design and just as suited to
newbies as it is to more experienced developers.
I agree - your implementation of the design you've attributed to me
probably is less clean than your implementation of your own design.
However, I'm equally sure that my own implementation of the design I
would use for my own needs (which I didn't post) is quite adequately
efficient, thank you very much indeedy.
What I *did* suggest to the original poster was that they should:
1. Use -showWindow: if the window had a controller in MainMenu.nib;
2. Use -makeKeyAndOrderFront: if the window was in MainMenu.nib but had
no controller;
3. Ideally put their prefs window in a separate nib.
4. Read some documentation.
5. Er, that's all.
As for what's good for newbies, learning Cocoa isn't toilet training -
there are choices about where you put your shit.
