I have an NSWindowController subclass that is defined as File's Owner in a nib. The window outlet is connected to a window, and the delegate outlet of the window goes back to the File's Owner. I was trying to release the controller in the windowWillClose: delegate method, but it didn't cause the dealloc method to be called. I found that immediately after creating the controller with alloc and init, its retain count was 1, but as soon as I did [self window], the retain count went up to 2. So, who's retaining the controller, and is it safe to just release it twice? I searched the list, and found some old messages about NSWindowController retain counts being messed up by bindings, but I don't have any bindings (yet). -- James W.
