I have a project's MainMenu.nib open. I drag an NSToolbar onto the

Now I cannot see the newly added NSToolbarItem either in the design
view or when I run Simulate Interface. Setting the toolbaritem's
image to "NSPreferencesGeneral" (the lightswitch icon used for
general preferences in many preferences windows, e.g. the Finder)
made no difference.
There's another step involved. What happens when you add the image to
the "toolbar" is that it's added to the allowable items (what's
displayed when a user customizes the toolbar). You then need to drag
it from the toolbar window that pops up under the toolbar into the the
toolbar itself so that it's added to the current items (what's
displayed in the toolbar normally).
IB's toolbar editing seems to be fairly brain dead -- as well as buggy
and undocumented -- in this first implementation of it. If you need
anything like selectable items, you still have to use a delegate
(afaik), and you're going to have to go to some trouble to get access
to IB's toolbar items in your delegate methods.
