Hi Markus,

I'm guessing that your NSArrayController is in the nib itself. One thing you could do is instantiate it programmatically and set it as an ivar of some other controller class in the nib (lets call it MyWindowController). Then bind the views to the MyWindowController.arrayController.arrangedObjects (or whatever the applicable keypath is).

When your view is hidden, you can set MyWindowContoller.arrayController to nil and it *should* just work. We've used this same pattern in our code, but we're only using the arrangeObjects and selectedObjects keypaths of NSArrayController.

Also, I haven't played with NSCollectionView, but it seems odd that it has problems if the data changes when its not visible. It sounds like a bug to me...

Hi List,

I have a document window that can show the same data in more than one way, very much like Finder, one view mode is an outline, the other is a collection. Both are bound to the same data, so they reflect changes automatically.

I was wondering if there is some way to tell a controller class (like NSArrayController) to temporarily disconnect the bound view from the data (other than removing the binding itself). It seems that the views are updating the data even if they are not visible, consuming memory and processor time. Moreover, NSCollectionView does seem to have problems when it's not visible and the data changes (I get debug log entries about assertion failures in NSView lockFocus).

Thanks
Markus
