I would like get some input on when to use a single NIB and when to load up other NIBs manually.

E.g. there is a PreferenceController example in Aaron's "Cocoa Programming for Mac OSX" that does load the preferences NIB manually when you click on the menu item. What makes me wonder is - why not just include that window into the same MainMenu.nib?


Simple answer - Everything in the nib gets instantiated when the nib is loaded. If the user never chooses to show the preferences all that stuff to do with the preferences window would be wasting memory. Also, the less stuff you have in MainMenu.nib, the quicker your app will load.

Alright that's what I assumed but thought there might have been other reasons as well.


cheers
