Ah, but the crux of my question is that I don't have "the next one to show".
I don't know what the window will look like when selecting a different core
data entity until I select it, and by then it's too late. That's why I'm
asking for a strategy...
For example, I can imagine something like this. Take a "screen shot" of the
window. Cover the whole window with a secondary window. Behind the secondary
window, move the primary window on to the next entity. Take a second "screen
shot" of the window. Now I *do* have a "before" and "after" pair of
pictures. Perform the page curl animation in the secondary window, and
remove it.
That seems very elaborate, so before I do that I'm checking to see whether
that strategy is on the right track. m.
