There are plenty of discussions on the matter and it's up to you, Darrin, to decide which way best fits your app's design. If it's not something that is needed all the time, try a tab view, a sheet, or even a drawer (though for some reason there's great hostility toward drawers in some camps; I see no problem with them if they're used properly).

This is an iMovie plugin. Or more accurately, it's 2 different iMovie plugins that share a lot of code and have very similar UI's. When the user chooses the first plugin, they get the window with all the controls. When the user chooses the other plugin they get the window without a couple of controls. It's not a situation where doing something within the window shows or hides the UI elements. But it makes the size of the code and resources smaller to do it this way. I don't believe that breaks the design guidelines you speak of.


Thanks for all your help,
Darrin


Can you just have two different nibs? That way you can also re-layout the one without the extra elements and not have any ugly "big missing gap space".

(Granted, this will require making sure that you keep the two in sync when you make other changes, but I'd think that providing a different nib name string is a whole lot easier than going through and hiding a bunch of elements).
