macOS saveAction called 2 times with notification

[Val K]

I have a custom class for NSButton called `MyButton` where I post a notification for a quicksave
`MyButton.m`:

    -(void)mouseDown:(id)sender{
        [super mouseDown:sender];
        [super mouseUp:sender];
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"quickSave" object:nil userInfo:nil];
    }

in `AppDelegate` I get the notification for the quick save:
`AppDelegate.m`:

    - (IBAction)saveAction:(id)sender{
        NSLog(@"Saving...");
        NSError *error = nil;
        if (![[self managedObjectContext] commitEditing]) {
            NSLog(@"%@:%@ unable to commit editing before saving", [self class], NSStringFromSelector(_cmd));
        }
        if (![[self managedObjectContext] save:&error]) {
            [[NSApplication sharedApplication] presentError:error];
        }
    }
    -(void)awakeFromNib{
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(saveAction:) name:@"quickSave" object:nil];
    }

Via the `NSLog "Saving..."` I see that the saveAction is called 2 times. Why? Thanks in advance

Did you register more than one object for that notification?

In the NSLog statement, log sender and self as well.

no, as you can see there's no specified object, it's "nil".
this is the log:

Saving...
sender: NSConcreteNotification 0x101915b70 {name = quickSave}
self: <AppDelegate: 0x101927730>
Saving...
sender: NSConcreteNotification 0x101915b70 {name = quickSave}
self: <AppDelegate: 0x1005374c0>

there are two different self. what does it mean?

PS: i've tried this solution but it doesn't work

-(void)awakeFromNib{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:@"quickSave" object:nil];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(saveAction:) name:@"quickSave" object:nil];
}
