That avoids the need to capture the 'open' URLs, but it's only OK if you can accept the documents being there - in our case we can. Doing this is fairly simple though - just invoke the dialog opening method after a short delay (1 second in our case) - it's enough to ensure it happens after all doc opening has completed, since the true main event loop runs normally, opens the documents, then processes any pending 'perform after delay' stuff.

I got something working and just wanted to run it by y'all. When the cross-platform init code gets an error, I call a cross-platform function. The Mac build of this function allocates an NSObject subclass and tells it to execute later in the main run loop like so:

	RunPlogueModalsInMainEventLoop*			runner = [[RunPlogueModalsInMainEventLoop alloc] initForProblem:PlogueProblem::kEngineFailed error:errCode];

	[runner performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(runDlog) withObject:runner waitUntilDone:NO modes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSDefaultRunLoopMode, nil]];

That object's runDlog method then runs our cross-platform dlog and releases the Obj-C object (self):

-(void) runDlog
{
	// Simplified for clarity:
	fcdlg::PlogueEngineFailError		dlg(NULLP, self->error);

	dlg.DoModal();

	// We're all done with this allocated object:
	[self release];
}

Is this all safe and legal, releasing self right before it returns to whatever called it?
