Apologies if this lands here twice, but I got a bounce when I first replied...

Hi,

For information you can:

1.
Assuming Alexandria_AppDelegate is called the app delegate for a reason you can call:


Alexandria_AppDelegate *delegate = [[NSApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

to return your app delegate instance.
You can then add and call an accessor on Alexandria_AppDelegate to access the outlet.

When I created a new core data application named Alexandria, Alexandria_AppDelegate was automatically created.


Although why do you want this interaction between your two windows? It doesn't sound very normal or user friendly to me.
The normal way this type of interface might be put together is to have the current contents of the second window (editing stuff) below the archive table view in the first window.
Alternatively maybe the second window could be an inspector panel rather than a standard window.

I'm looking for the best way to present the information and also allow the user to manage it. I can't see how to produce all of it on one screen, as there may be a long list of archives over time.


I also want to allow use of a file browser (not that I'm anywhere near working that one out yet :D) to add the list of files to the archive eventually. The user will then be able to enter additional data for each file.

Is that the wrong way to go about it ?
