1. What is the best way to instantiate the “other” windows? In this
application, all of the windows are quite unique, and there will never be
more than one instance of each. Should this be done in the “main”
controller by loading the NIB, instantiating the other controller, and then
showing the window?



I agree that this sounds like a bad idea, but if you have good reason to, you might want to have a NSWindowController and nib for each window. Perhaps you should be more specific on how you intend to use the modal windows, and why they need to be modal.


As for your second question, I can't think of any examples of this, because I've never seen an application do this before. Maybe something with sheets?
