It would be interesting to see what kinds of non-trivial things you
can do better with NSController than with the usual Cocoa MVC
implementation.
Depends on what you mean by "better". I for myself was thinking about
something like NSController before, when I got weary of writing methods
like updateThis, updateThat for my preferences Window(s).
Only problem was - I would either have had to build some IB-Plugin or
define the actual bindings in some kind of seperate text/data file. The
first way seemed too much work, the second not enough different from
writing regular source code.
So I'm quite happy that Apple came up with exactly the solution I was
thinking about. I'm not so happy, that Aaron suggests that the
implementation of said solution is inherently flawed. I'm still waiting
for my Panther package to arrive, so I've not had the opportunity to
work with NSController yet. I'll probably do that later today, and I
hope there will be ways to extend the concept so that Aaron's doubts
will prove unwarranted.
On a different note (*), I think it would have been a good idea for
Apple to work with the community instead of doing everything on their
own. Might have avoided some problems - be they real or only perceived.
bye. Andreas.
(*) I'm not a native english speaker. Is that a correct use of this
phrase?
