I'm trying to restore a document based application from a previous version on Lion. When I select "restore version", the text view doesn't reflect the changes. However, if I close the application and reopen, the changes are there.
I'm using the file wrapper variants of NSDocument, so how can I make the text view's text storage reflect the version that's selected immediately? Am I missing something?
I had a similar problem recently (my interface didn't seem to update). Are you updating your interface in windowControllerDidLoadNib: or awakeFromNib ? When a document is reverted (revert to last saved, or selecting a version in the versions browser), windowControllerDidLoadNib: is not called again because the document is already loaded, but your file wrapper method will be.
I'm not sure if this is the best solution, but what I do is update the UI in the read wrapper method only if the document is being reverted. I do this by checking if an outlet (like your textview) is not nil.Update:
A better solution is overriding -revertToContentsOfURL:ofType:error:
