It said I was supposed to use that if my application wasn't based on
NSDocument.
If it does, I couldn't find it. The whole point of
NSDocumentController is that it manages NSDocument instances.
In any case, if you're trying to make an app that acts like it's
document based, you'll have a much better time of it if you make your
app document based.
"This method should be called by applications not based on NSDocument
when they open or save documents identified by aURL."
It was the first sentence of the description for
noteNewRecentDocumentURL: in the NSDocumentController class.
I think the thrust of this statement is that if your app is NSDocument
based (as in you chose "Document based Cocoa application" when you
created the project), management of the recent menu is handled for you
automatically. If you're "rolling your own" document support, you will
need to call noteNewRecentDocumentURL yourself to ensure that the
recent menu shows the right thing. But you shouldn't read it to mean
that all you have to do is call noteNewRecentDocumentURL and everything
else will magically fall into place.
Again, without more info (outline your strategy and desired behavior,
code might be of help unless your problem is conceptual), it's hard to
be of help.
