Please make sure the project that nib belongs to is open in Xcode.
Drag the image into the project or into Xcode and it should display in
IB's Image tab. I verified that this does work. Try to quit all your
tools (or restart) and try this again.
If it still does not work for you, there may be an hiccup in the
communication between IB and Xcode. Please look at the console for any
pertinent messages and email them to me or include them in a bug report
on

Thanks Michael. I had never noticed that menu item in IB before. I've
gotten accustomed to relying on Google in the past few years, which is
reasonably definitive when you need a reference to open source or
Java-related documentation. Now that I'm delving a bit deeper into
Apple's technology I need to get re-accustomed to using documentation
that comes bundled with the software... :-)
Incidentally, I had come close -- I'd tried using a tiff file instead
of a gif, and I'd tried copying the gif into my project directory...
Now I know that the file has to be in the project directory, and gif
is not a supported image format.

Did you check the Xcode Integration section of IB's FAQ? (Go to IB
Menu Help/FAQ.)
How do I get IB to display images from my project?
For Carbon nibs:
Make sure the project is open in Xcode. Add a compiled resource file
containing your images to your Xcode project. Now open the nib.
Carbon nibs will look inside compiled .rsrc files for PICT, icns,
cicn and ICON resources. These esource files must have the extension
.rsrc.
For Cocoa nibs:
Make sure the project is open in Xcode. Add your images to your Xcode
project. Any images you add must have an extension understood by
NSImage (.tiff, .jpeg, etc). Now open the nib.
General rules:
IB will only show images it can guarantee will exist at runtime, so
make sure your images or resources are included in the target which
contains the nib. If a nib belongs to multiple targets, it will only
show images contained within every one of these targets.

This is exasperating! I tried a couple of different gif and png
files I had available, and I get exactly the same results for each:
the file is added to the Xcode project, but doesn't show up in IB. I
am thinking that this is a bug...
I'm using Interface Builder 2.4.1 (v362), which I downloaded from
ADC as part of the Xcode 1.1 release.

Kaelin,
I wrote previous answer on my memory of older virsion of IB,
New I tried what you did on IB v2.4, It seems to work correctly, On
dropping of GIF or JPEG
file icon (form Finder) , IB shows the icon in its images tab.
I think you should check you GIF file again and try other gif file.

Hello Hiro,
I gave your suggestion a shot, but it did not get me any further.
I first added my gif file to the Xcode project, and then dragged
the file's icon from Xcode into Interface Builder's Images tab.
Again, IB presented me with a sheet asking if I wanted to add the
file to a target. It doesn't matter if I say yes or no, once I
click Add (on the sheet) I get another copy of the gif in my Xcode
project -- but still no icon for the image in IB. :-/
I'm using a full install of the recently release Xcode 1.1... Is
it possible there's a bug?

Kaelin,
You can place an imge into nib file after you add the image into
your project file, by drag
& drop it from Xcode's project window not from Finder.

How do I add an image resource to my nib file in Interface
Builder? I tried simply dragging and dropping from the Finder
onto the Images palette of the nib view, and this popped up a
sheet which added a reference to my gif file to my Xcode project
-- but the image still does not show up in the palette, and if I
try to set is as the image of an NSImageView it shows a broken
link icon.
