hi there,

is it possible to keep my NIB files private? i.e. - i don't want the
general public to be able to open my NIBs in Interface Builder and start
checking out one of my proprietary Controller object instances and all
of its connections, for example.

i checked the IB FAQ & release notes...there doesn't appear to be any
info pertaining to this in there. i know i can lock connections, but i'd
rather make it foolproof and prevent my users from being able to ever
open the NIB at all in IB.

I can't help you with this but would like to ask you to reconsider.

The ability of "the general public" to open, view, and modify your nib files has a great appeal. Modifying nib files to change minor issues has often saved me from having to dump a program that did almost, but not exactly, suit my needs.

What do you have to lose when the users of your app are able to open the nib files?

With kind regards

Piers
