Hi Jonathan,
Of course the new version of IB looks quite better than the previous
one,
but I have to say...too many bugs, to many strange behaviours. For
example,
you click on an object and you can't edit it, then you have to click
on it
several times, until you get the control over it. It's not an
intuitive UI.
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say, but if you're
referring to something like editing a button's title live in the
inline editor, try double clicking on the title. Double clicking
always begins editing the deepest object under the mouse.
Also you need to select a given view on a panel containing other
objects...
No way, you have to pass trough all the other objects to select the
one you
want.. Too bad. I would like to say, freely, this IB version has not
the
traditional "easy" Apple style. What's happening there?...
Did Apple lose the control over IB and XCode? Too many things to do
at Apple
Inc. due to the iPhone? Please Apple, speech a nice word for us
developers.
Thanks.
The best way to have your concerns addressed is to file individual
radar bugs with clear steps to reproduce and explicit expected
behavior. If you feel that something about the selection mechanism is
awkward, please file a radar. I really would love to make Interface
Builder easier for you to use, but in order to do that, I have to
understand what you find to be difficult. Unfortunately, the previous
paragraph isn't explicit enough for me to be able to extract
actionable items.
Here's a quick bit about how Interface Builder translates your mouse
clicks into selections. Its important to remember that a cocoa
interface is composed of a tree of objects, and at any time there are
usually multiple objects at any one location on a window. If you
aren't familiar with it already, using the outline view in interface
builder will help you understand this hierarchy. So, when you click:
Double clicking always actives the object under the mouse. A single
click on an unselected object selects the most interesting object
under the mouse. This is typically something like a button instead of
a button cell. A single click on a selected object selects the next
child of the selected object under the mouse.
Good Luck -
Jon Hess

Hi,
Using IB 3.0 (629) I open a nib file made with the previous IB.
I double click on a scrollingView containing text, I can quite
select the
text, but I can't edit the text. I was able to paste end edit the
text using
the previous IB. Do I miss something now?
Best Regards
