I have an NSDrawer in my app, the content of which is slightly too big
to be fully shown when the drawer is open to the 'standard' distance.
Obviously people can simply drag the drawer out further to see
everything but it's tiresome having to do this every time the app is
launched. Is there some way I can either change the default so that
more of the drawer is visible when it is first opened or so that I can
save the preferred opening distance when the app terminates and restore
it later?
I have scoured the docs, the sample code and the various list archives
but with no success. I've even tried other apps that use drawers to see
if the desired behaviour is indeed possible. Surprisingly, the only
'drawered' app I've found that behaves the way I want is Mail. So, are
Apple programmers being sneaky and overriding private methods or is
there some subtlety that I'm missing. Any ideas?
Looking at the AppKit framework headers, there are a couple of
interesting-looking (i.e. undocumented) private ivars, _drawerPercent
and _drawerPercentSaved. Could these be the answer?
