I have a pretty big project. It is a multiple document app. I can
open the documents defined in its plist when the app is up and running
via the open menu command. Yet, all of a sudden double clicking a file
isn't opening the file in the application. The app fires up and no
document with window controller and user interface. I do have a sub
class of NSDocumentController in my main nib file. But it has always
worked. None of my clients or users are complaining. Could this be
something on my hard drive that I am ignorant of?
Do I have a way of debugging this, because the app has to be
unlaunched, so, the double clicking of the file opens the app, and
opens the file with window controller. I am lost in this one. Help...

Have you checked the console log? What's probably happening is that something is raising an exception and it's not being caught, and the document opening process is just stopping. You could also put some debugging statements in things like loadDataRepresentation:ofType: or whichever method is doing your document opening, and see if they get printed to the console.

I had a similar problem and found that it had to do with how I had overridden my document's -setTitle: method. I was doing something to the Windows menu that was causing an exception to be thrown outside of my code. The message in the console wasn't real helpful, but eventually, it pointed me to the right place.
