Okay, I want to make changes in Interface Builder (IB) without losing all my code. Is there a CLEAN way of doing it other than saving everything in a "secret directory"?

Huh? Do you mean, that you want to create new instance variables and methods and have the code recreated in new .[hm] files without overwriting the old .[hm] files?

Or are you just restructuring the GUI?

Restructuring the GUI itself will not in any way whatsoever affect the .[hm] files and therefore there is no problem.

If you are renaming the methods and instance variables, etc. I find that it is FAR easier to do all of that in PB and then drag the updated .h file in to IB instead of having IB generate the .[hm] files for me. Then you can merge or overwrite the changes and move on ...

This is what I was doing before, but it seems so...hack. Since UI's do change over time, what is the "normal" way of doing this?

Thanks for the assist!
