    <p>In <code>awakeFromNib:</code> the application is not fully launched yet, only this NIB file has been unmarshalled. At this point this method gives you a hook to complete (object-local) initialization. The application is (quite likely) not ready to process events or perform actions.</p> <p>You should trigger that action from <code>applicationDidFinishLaunching:</code> method, an optional method in the application delegate, and pass in the status item like a click would do (because you query it for <code>bounds</code>).</p> <p><strong>Update.</strong> This is trickier than I had thought. Turns out, the NSStatusItem doesn't have a view associated at that point when the delegate gets called. I'd venture to say that is a bug with <code>NSStatusItem</code>. When <code>statusItem.view</code> is called in <code>applicationDidFinishLaunching:</code>, the popover method receives <code>nil</code> and complains. </p> <p>The only (partial, see below) workaround that I have found is to set a button as view manually in <code>awakeFromNib:</code> like so:</p> <pre><code>- (void)awakeFromNib { self.statusItem = [[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength]; self.statusItemButton = [[NSButton alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 83, 22)]; self.statusItemButton.title = @"Locating..."; self.statusItemButton.bordered = NO; [self.statusItemButton setAction:@selector(clickStatusBar:)]; self.statusItem.view = self.statusItemButton; } </code></pre> <p>That way you'd have a view around when the application is done launching. But beware, it doesn't look like the default one. </p> <p>PS. <em>And curiously, and does not even work every time.</em> I have to drop the ball here. Sorry. Maybe save the location in the defaults when somone clicks. I think I saw such an inconsistency in Cloud.app and with a popover next to a status item, and maybe now we know why :)</p>

    1. COWell I tried that but I'm still getting an error (see my updated question). I think I'm calling the `clickStatusBar` incorrectly.

    2. COYou can't call that action on the app delegate. You need to put an outlet into the app delegate, put a connection into place in IB from that status item to the outlet, and then call action in the item via that outlet variable or property.

    3. COSorry, I got confused. Disregard the IBOutlet part (I'll edit the aswer accordingly). You expect the status item as the sender to the action, so when you call it programmatically, you need to pass that in, in place where now is `self`. (I assume that the above code is a controller or the app delegate, and the popover works with clicking already.)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
