Since this seems like a common operation, feel free to log this as a bug/feature request against NSOutlineView. Reply back with the bug number.

The main problem: TableView keeps the selection on the same row, and doesn't know about 'items'. NSOutlineView knows about items, but has never had the smarts to restore the selected items. We could easily add this.

thanks,
corbin

OK, this is a little disappointing; fortunately it's not too hard to work around on my own. Thanks for confirming my hypothesis.

I would have assumed that the selection tracks an /item/, and doesn't just sit on a particular row.


Is this behavior to be expected? Seems kinda weird to me.

Well, since you didn't expect it, it is "not expected". However, I do believe that this is the way it has always worked. Probably has something to do with the data source being a separate object.


In my code, I get the 'selectedObjects' before -reloadData, then after -reloadData, restore it. Here is some ugly old code I found while verifying my memory:

// Restore selection
e = [selectedObjects objectEnumerator] ;
NSMutableIndexSet* selectionIndexes = [[NSMutableIndexSet alloc] init] ;
while ((item = [e nextObject])) {
int index = [outlineView rowForItem:item] ;
if (index != NSNotFound) {
[selectionIndexes addIndex:index] ;
}
}
[outlineView selectRowIndexes:selectionIndexes
byExtendingSelection:NO] ;
[selectionIndexes release] ;
