It'd be great if we could insert "dangling" views with the IB
interface, even though the hierarchy wouldn't be complete,
let me give an example:
inserting an empty matrix by dragging it from the palette, or an empty
scroller view, or split view...
The actual interface seems to think that developers don't know what
they'
re doing and that we might mess everything up
by doing just this...
For custom view this works. I think it should for any other one too...
well, it doesn't, for startes, those views aren't even available in the
palettes, they're only created as a consequence of other views (like a
matrix when you
option-drag another view), quite inconvenient...
second request: the ability to move things around from inside the
outline view,
What you mean by this? You can select anything there and update it in
Inspector, and you can Alt-drag it from there. Whay you want more?
when you option-drag (we're on a mac, remember ;-)), you see the whole
view, not just the outline text of the view, and you cannot drag it
INSIDE
the inspector, you have to place it inside a window/view. And as the FAQ
says, in some cases, you have to drag it to another window then
back, and very often, you loose your outlet connections...
this is not what I call inside-outline-view-editing.... ;-(
and also visually seeing the selected view in the actual window when
one
clicks on a view in the outline window (visual feedback). That would
make IB actually usable ;-)
You mistyped: that would make IB very very *un*usable. If you *want* to
see it (which very often you don't), just Ctrl-Shift-click it, as
always worked.
note quite either. All you see is a huge arrow pointing to your view,
the actual view isn't selected inside the window, so that when you want
to resize a sub-sub view
visually (for example), you can't select it inside the outline view,
then click on the handles in the window, because when you switch to the
window, the
actual view isn't selected...
and very often, selecting the right view is nearly impossible...
