Thanks for the tip on ZFlowLayout. It looks like exactly what I need to
manage the views. But the next trick is programmatically adding the
views to a ZFlowLayout. I've got the custom view all laid out, but what
do I do next? In InterfaceBuilder, it's just named `View'. Do I need a
separate controller object for this view? If so, how do I get multiple,
distinct instances of the view I can manipulate separately?
Again, your help is greatly appreciated.

I don't believe so. You might want to search the list archives at
cocoabuilder.com - I think this is a FAQ.
If you decide to go without an NSTableView, you might want to search
the list archives for "layout" (excluding "NSLayoutManager", which is
a different topic). Also, you can search www.cocoadev.com for
FlowLayout (I think). This lists an entire class source for performing
layout of same-size views. The example is geared toward an iPhoto-like
layout, but is an excellent tutorial for the much simpler, "list all
my same-sized views vertically" task you're after.

Interesting suggestion. Is it possible to make the background of
NSTableView transparent? I'd like the views to be layered over the
straight Aqua pinstripe background.

Damien:
Why not use NSTableView? One column can use an NSImageCell, the
other can be a title column, the other can be a button (for stop /
reload, etc.). Recreating this functionality ('tiling' the views) is
a lot of work compared to just learning how to use a table view.
Hope this helps.

I'm a little confused on how I can create an NSView subclass as a
sort of template for things I want drawn later on. What I'm trying
to do is basically akin to what Safari's download manager does:
display multiple download objects in a view, each being different.
I started by dragging the CustomView widget to the main IB window
and got a custom view. I laid it out like I want (an image well and
a couple text fields), but after that I'm stuck on what to do. How
do I manipulate and create new instances of the subclass within an
NSBox subclass in the code?
