Re: Unique data in Core Data?

I do something similar. User drops files onto an NSOutlineView. I 
grab the file paths to use as unique identifiers to add tabViewItems 
with initWithIdentifier:. The TabView's selectedIdentifier is bound 
to the selection.filePath of the outline view (well its 
arrayController actually) so that selecting an item in the outline 
view will select the correct tab. Seems sensible to me. :)

If you need a unique string, why not just append the current itemType 
count (or row number) to a string? E.g. "ItemType1","ItemType2", etc

Hope that helps,
George
