"Untitled" is perfectly fine, and the HI guidelines need to be addressed to clarify this.
Ali

No, it's not "perfectly fine". If you're using NSDocument, then you can just ignore it for now and let Apple fix it (which is one way of saying "it's perfectly fine," but developers should be aware of the subtitles in the reasoning behind this statement of "perfectly fine"; that is, that's because once apple fixes it, it will instantly become correct.)


The HI guidelines are already quite clear:
"Name a new document window “untitled”; leaving it lowercase makes it more obvious that the
window doesn’t have a name and encourages people to save the document. If the user chooses New
again before saving the first untitled window, name the second window “untitled 2,” and so on. Add
numbers to window titles only when there is more than one open untitled window. Don’t put a “1”
on the first untitled window, even after the user opens other new windows." (Page 181)


I apologize for continuing this off-topic thread.
