How do I load PersistentDocuments into the same window

Question

I want to open NSPersistentDocuments and load them into the same window one at a time. I'm almost there but missing some steps. Hopefully someone can help me.

I have a few saved documents on the hard drive. On launch my app opens to an untitled NSPersistentDocument and creates a separate NSWindowController. When I press the button to load file 1 off the hard drive the data appears in the fields but two things are wrong that I can see:

1) changing the data doesn't make the document dirty
2) choosing save updates the persistentstore (I know this because when I open the file again I see the changes) but I get an error: +entityForName: could not locate an NSManagedObjectModel for entity name 'Book'

Here's my code which is in the WindowController that was launched initially with the untitled document. This code isn't perfect. For example, I know I should processPendingChanges and save the current doc before I load the new one. This is test code to try to get over this hurdle.

- (IBAction)newBookTwo:(id)sender {
 NSDocumentController *dc = [NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController];
 NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[@"~/Desktop/File 2.binary" stringByExpandingTildeInPath]];

 NSError *error;
 MainWindowDocument *thisDoc = [dc openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:url display:NO error:&error];

 [self setDocument:thisDoc]; 
 [self setManagedObjectContext:[thisDoc managedObjectContext]];
}

Thanks!

Answer 1

Assuming you have an entity called "Book" or "book" then the second problem is most likely a typo swapping case. Depending on the entity graph that may be triggering your first problem as well.

Answer 2

Put a break point in there and see if your model is nil.
