Comrades,
-- Newbie Alert --
This is my first posting to this list, and has to do with my first
foray into Cocoa + ObjC + Interface Builder. I am trying to
understand the relationships between resource elements in the NIB
and the ObjC code the the Xcode project, and how to modify them. I
have worked a lot with CodeWarrior and VisualC++/MFC in the past,
but the Xcode/IB interplay seems different from either of those
systems.
-- The Project --
I am modifying an existing application. Its purpose is to allow a
user to select a source directory and several destination
directories into which copies of the source will be copied. The
existing app has a single window with a bunch of controls for
setting directory paths and some options for those copies
(checksums, metadata, &etc). The app is used to make special backup
copies of a specialized data type.
-- My Task --
My job is to hook up the controls for another window. That window
has already been built in IB, but is not functional yet. This new
window will do some similar tasks (setting source/destination
directories), but also does some extra stuff.
-- The Problem --
I added a menu item to switch between the new window and the old
window. The switching works okay (sort of), but somehow along the
way I have gotten an extra menu item into the app.
When I run the app, I see a menu item that is not visible in the NIB
file. I recognize the extra item, I built it. However, I had some
problems with the NIB, so I reverted to an older copy of the NIB,
and started modifying that. I thought I had gotten rid of the old
menu item, and I can't see it anywhere in the NIB or the ObjC code,
but I sure see it when I run the app. What gives?
-- My Question --
How can a running app show a menu item that is not in the NIB? Where
else does Xcode/IB store resources that I am not seeing?
Thanks for any help. I am sure to lots more questions while I work
through tutorials and wok on this project.

First, try to clean your target (Buile Menu > Clean) and to rebuild it.
