Wayne,
If you just want another window you can just drag a new one out of
the pallet to our "Instances" window in Interface Builder. You don't
even need to have a separate NIB file. You have options to display
the new window when the application launches, or you can use the
[myWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:] message to open the window and make
it the key view.
Document based application are very common. Pretty much any
application that has a "New" item in the menu needs to be document
based. Non-document based applications would be something like the
Calculator. There is just one main window with a few additional
windows, but there is no "New Calculator" item in the "File" menu.

Hi all,
I'm trying to write an application to allow me to easily find
archived media. The end result will have a screen displaying the
archives and a description of each archive in the main window.
Double clicking the archive will open another window displaying a
lot of metadata about the archive, as well as where it currently is.
Adding a new archive will also have another window for the user to
enter details about the archive.
Do I need a document-based application to do this? I'm only just
getting started and I'm heavily reliant on cocoa programming for
Mac OS X at the moment. Looking through this, I'm still a LOT
confused about how to have an application with multiple NIB files
(which I assume that I will need for multiple windows in the
application) and tying that all together.
If anyone could offer any pointers to tutorials that show how to
create a multi-document application that uses core data, I would be
very grateful. I've read some of the linked documentation at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/
index.html, but I'm still not clear as to how I would go about
accessing the same data in multiple classes / nibs.
Thanks in advance!
