1. I'd like to be able to bind properties of objects (cocoa

NSView in the suitcase and i want to bind the content array of an
NSArrayController to something in that view, is that possible?
Nothing shows up in the Bind To: pop-up for the array controller
other than file's owner and any other controllers in the nib.

Do you really want to bind the content of the array controller to a
view, or the other way round? You almost certainly should not be
binding an array controller's content to a view.
OK - that was a bad example. But I may want to bind something in the
UI to another object in the suitcase, much like how I might bind an
array controllers content binding to the file's owner.
2. If i make an NSView the file's owner in InterfaceBuilder, it
doesn't let me edit the view as it would if it was not file's owner
but just instantiated in the nib. Is there some reason for this?
You almost certainly don't want an NSView as the File's Owner. What
are you trying to achieve?
We are creating complex NSViews, and it is a lot easier to set them up
in IB than programmatically. For example, our subclass of NSView could
have a tableview as one of its subviews. We wouldn't want to set that
up, its columns and column bindings to a controller, programmatically.
Is there a better/preferred way to do this?
