Thanks Gregory,

But they are using it in the nib file. A nib file is just a set of encoded

the classes you are unarchiving from the nib file linked into the application
for you to be able to use it.

I thought that may be the case.

Having to remember to add a framework to your project everytime you use
a certain IB palette just seems wrong.

It's not wrong, for the reason cited above. :)

I meant "wrong" from an ease of use point of view... though I understand that we are dealing with developers who should probably learn why it's necessary anyway.


Is there a way to make this easier for the developers, or is this the
only way?

It is the only way.

Unless IB automatically added the relevant framework to your xcode project ;)


Also, one suggestion, you should be linking your palette
with the same framework you created.

Cheers. I hadn't noticed earlier but I was linking directly.
