So my question is, without subclassing NSDocumentController (which I understand you are not supposed to do), how do I tell NSDocumentController to simply hand me back an instance of NSImage? Or is it even already doing this for me and all I have to do is get the class out of NSData? If so how?

Well, first of all, you can subclass NSDocumentController if you have a need to.


Regarding the Cocoa Document Architecture (which as far as API is concerned means NSDocument and NSDocumentController), it handles things like open and save dialogs, associating them with windows, splicing them into the responder chain, document change counts for undo/redo, all the "generic" document stuff.

But the Cocoa Document Architecture does not do stuff with the data in the file.

So, now that you understand that the problem is probably not with your usage of the Cocoa Document Architecture, that brings us to your code...

NSImage *img = [[NSImage alloc] initWithData:data];
[imageView setImage:img];
[img release];

I've never done that, but it looks like it should work. To troubleshoot, start by doing an NSLog on 'data' to see if it is what's in your file. Then NSLog the description of img, then imageView, etc., etc.
