I have a user interface question. I'm in the interface prototyping
stage for a database-type application for a fairly wide audience. One
of the possibilities involves two NSSplitViews. The first would fill
most of the window. The top pane would have an NSTableView for
manipulating entries. The bottom pane would have another NSSplitView.
That second split view would have a pane for meta-data about the
database entry and a pane to hold the entry itself.
What I'm wondering about is the wisdom (ease-of-use-wise) of stacking
horizontal split views like that. The meta-data pane wouldn't receive
as much use as the other two, so I could use a toolbar button to show
and hide it, or I could just have it hidden by default and the user
could drag the bar between the panes to show it. I can't use a vertical
split view or a drawer for any of the views because they all need
plenty of horizontal space. Does anyone have any suggestions?
