Still looking for feedback before I make a decision. Thanks!
Make sure you take a long-term view, including all the little details
that the document architecture gives you....for example:
Save As
View of the document path shown when command-clicking the title bar
Open Recent menu
"Dirty" dot in close box
Warning sheet when closing a dirty document (Don't Save, etc.)
Warning when quitting "You have 4 documents with unsaved changes..."
etc.
Will your users will eventually expect all this stuff? If so,
regarding the question of whether you should try and over-ride the
Cocoa's NSDocumentController or re-implement it all yourself, I don't
know, except that both are going to take longer than expected, and
also re-implementing it yourself will be more straightforward and
result in less hair being pulled out. Finally, is that tabbed multi-
document window "look" really worth all the extra effort?
Happy coding!
