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
