I have a "main" window for my document and several secondary windows. The main window is created and managed as usual (it comes from the documents nib file). The secondary windows are handled in a method of my NSDocument subclass like this:

"NSDocument subclasses must also create their window controllers. They can do this indirectly or directly. If a document has only one nib file (with one window in it), the subclass can override windowNibName to return the name of the window nib file; as a consequence, a default NSWindowController instance is created for the document, with the document as the nib files owner. If a document has multiple windows, or if an instance of a custom NSWindowController subclass is to be used, the NSDocument subclass must override makeWindowControllers to create these objects."

First try managing all the window controllers through 'makeWindowControllers'.

Yeah, same result: the doc still stays open when all windows are closed. Explicitly setting setShouldCloseDocument to YES closes the document when the window is closed, but the other windows do not close with the document.

Here's my makeWindowControllers code. I also tried calling [super makeWindowControllers] to make the "main" controller.

- (void)makeWindowControllers
{
NSWindowController* aWindowController;

aWindowController = [[NSWindowController alloc]initWithWindowNibName:[self windowNibName] owner:self];
[self addWindowController:aWindowController];
[aWindowController setShouldCloseDocument:YES];

aWindowController = [[NSWindowController alloc]initWithWindowNibName:@"Subwindow" owner:self];
[self addWindowController:aWindowController];
[aWindowController setShouldCloseDocument:NO];

aWindowController = [[NSWindowController alloc]initWithWindowNibName:@"Subwindow" owner:self];
[self addWindowController:aWindowController];
[aWindowController setShouldCloseDocument:NO];
}

Am I right in thinking this should all "just work"?
