You might think it less ‘drama-boy’ if I remind you that I have to make this work for around 1.5 million regular users that don’t want to see an error notifier when they use a command line according to the older version. I’m inclined to think that some drama would be nice to avoid here…

I understand the process you explained and it’s a good way to do things. Nicer still if it were well documented of course - perhaps you could add your explanation to the swiki sometime? And probably as a class comment, come to that.

I guess I’ll need to turn off the readDocumentAtStartup pref and manually find any args. That’s really all I needed to know.
