>>Is there an easy way to create an NSSplitView that behaves like the column view in Finder. In particular, I'd like a split view that moves all sibling views, maintaining the original sibling view size, when the slide divider is moved, rather than simply compressing/expanding the immediate sibling (sharing the moved divider). I know I can create this behavior catching 'splitView(Will|Did)ResizeSubviews' delegate methods and manually adjusting the view rects. But I'm hoping for a flag or subclass that will "magically" create this behavior without lots of extra code.

Thanks for the referral Patrick!
RBSplitView can indeed do that, although mimicking some of the Finder's window behaviors for column view is tricky. I've got most this working in my own code, and I'm working on the next (1.1.5) version of RBSplitView where this might be a little easier.
Ideally 1.1.5 should have a column-view example window working in the sample app. John, if you could tell me privately about details, this would help me debug this.
