Since your app is document-based, setting the window title directly won't work.


I suppose I could override windowTitleForDocumentDisplayName: displayName and ignore the displayName parameter.

Overriding -windowTitleForDocumentDisplayName: will use whatever string you return for the window's title. Keep in mind that the displayName parameter is the name of the document's file (if already saved) or the name which will appear in the save sheet, not the string you return. The displayName parameter is identical to the document's (NSDocument) -displayName. If you want to modify the file's proposed file name, you can override NSDocument -displayName. In your case, overriding -windowTitleForDocumentDisplayName: should work fine for modifying the window's title, but it will not affect the file name. The file name will still be "Untitled n".
