[baseten-users] How to use a single BXDatabaseContext object with multiple nib files

[Réjean Lamy]

Same result :(

One of the strange thing I observed is about fetch.
When I used a BXDatabaseContext object directly in the nib, a table is  
populated with DB data automatically when the window is showed.

But when I use a BXDatabaseContext instance in the main controller and  
passing the ctx to the nib, the table is _not_ populated with DB data.
In that case I must use a Fetch button.

Strange because, in either case, the "Fetch On Connect" was always  
checked on the BX Array Controller driving the NSTable.
