Hi Michael,
Perhaps you should consider enhancing RBSplitView yourself. Rainer
distributes the source under the MIT license, after all. (And then
submit your enhancement to him!)
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure how Rainer feels about
contributed code, but since he's already planning on supporting this
in his next release I think he's probably got his own ideas on how to
do this already.
The other factor would of course be time. I really do need to get a
move on for getting v8 of my app out for March 2008 and I've just kind
of committed to a complete interface revamp after getting carried away
with the new Leopard features :-)
The earliest I could start working in earnest on anything more than a
quick and dirty hack to RBSplit would be summer 2008. That being said
it would be interesting to cooperate with Rainer and give something
back to the community. I'm still a recovering J2EE guy at heart, so I
could certainly learn a thing or two about Cocoa by doing this..
Best regards,
Frank

Hi again,
I see what you mean with the splitters only working in one
direction.. You wouldn't have a provisional ETA for the next
version? My apps only due for March-June 2008..
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Frank

Right,
It looks like I'm going to have to go down the RBSplitView route
then..

What I want is a three view (2 vertical splitters) with the

right view get smaller, e.g.
<--->| |<->

The essential thing is that the central view should "slide"
around.
RBSplitView should do most of what you want; just set the min and
max sizes of the central view to the same fixed number. Collapsing
etc. will also work just by setting parameters in IB.
However, the current version won't work by dragging the fixed view
"behind" the mouse movement; I'll try to do this in the next
version. It will allow you to push the fixed view ahead of the
movement, though. Sorry about that.
