If you find out, let me know :(

I find it's possible (for me likely) to get lost in a maze of twisty
little relationships, all alike, that I don't hold together so well in
my head. When I create a project I can make notes etc and do
drawings/illustrations. But when picking up an existing project I'm
just blown away.

Yup, this is definitely a problem, especially with bindings since they are so much more complex than simple outlets/actions.


It's possible to dump a nib in textual format using 'ibtool', though I haven't done it myself; I don't know what it displays about the bindings. Also, soothsayers prophecy that when the next incremental version of the developer tools are released, IB might have some mildly- improved UI for inspecting bindings; but to talk of that here would incur the Evil Eye.
