For tabbed applications (like Safari) is it best to move the entire
document area into a separate view and add them on the fly to an
invisible tab view while using a custom view to display the tabs and a
NSTabViewItem subclass to handle the tabs themselves?
When WebKit first came out I wrote a tabbed browser (where the tabs are
in a drawer like Preview! I was first Omni!) but if I remember
correctly, I simply created a new WebView on the fly. Since this
application is considerably more complex than needing to create a
single view, I'm guessing I should push everything off into a separate
view.
What might make this even more complicated, is that there is tab view
in the document view, so really I'll be making tabs of tabs. Also, how
do the actions/outlets work? It seems to be terribly complex.
