Re: Editing a record in a custom view

Keep the open windows in an NSMutableDictionary managed by the
controller of the table window. The keys would refer to the objects in
the table, the values would be the windows (or, better, their
controllers). Before opening a table item, check to see if it's already
in the table.

Devise a key object class for the objects in your table, and use it for
the dictionary keys. NS*Dictionary copies its key objects. That may
have performance costs or side effects you don't want.
