The problem was that I access a file (without proper error-handling;
I will add that now :-)). The default working directory is the main-

Finder.
I repaired this by adding
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] changeCurrentDirectoryPath:
[[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]
stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]];
to my awakeFromNib. I hope this works as I intend.
That will work, although if any other -awakeFromNib method (of an
object in that nib) wants to use a relative path, you have a race
condition, because the order in which -awakeFromNib methods are called
is, basically, random.
But it's better to just avoid using relative paths, if possible. If
you're accessing a file inside your bundle, you should use the
NSBundle resource APIs to get its location.
