Second, instead of overriding windowNibName in your NSDocument subclass, override makeWindowControllers. In makeWindowControllers you should create at least one instance of your custom NSWindowController subclass and use addWindowController: to add it to the document. If your document always needs multiple controllers, create them all here. If your document will support mult
