Nib File Opening in Code Editor


  • Subject: Nib File Opening in Code Editor
  • From: Michael Bergin <email@hidden>

Someone posted that their nib files were opening in a code editor window when double clicked as opposed to opening in Interface Builder. I just had the same thing happen to me in Xcode 1.0.1 however it only happens when that nib file is already opened in Interface Builder. Sorry if this was already addressed or completely explained but from what I remember the original post didn't mention any context for the event.

James,

I really don't think my email server can stand the onslaught of hundreds of System Profiler reports ... ;-)

What I have seen, and looking at Jim's System Profile lends another data point, is that if you have insufficient free space on your system volume you will be more frequently rewarded with the spinning pizza cursor pauses as the page memory system works to retrieve stuff shuffled out to disk. This behavior isn't specific to Xcode, I notice it happening on my laptop (which is frequently pickled with less than 1G free space due to a marginally small and slightly slow drive) with other apps like Mail, Photoshop, Safari, etc. To keep performance high, I try to keep free disk space of at least 4-5Gbytes on my desktop systems, and there I almost never see the spinning pizza even with a modest 512M RAM configuration.

top can be used to help determine the validity of this hypothesis. If you experience abnormally slow operations, frequent display of the spin cursor, etc, check your free disk space, use top and the Spin Control performance tools to see what might be happening, and file bug reports if the issue seems to be repeatable and Xcode specific.

best,
Godfrey

If this is surprising you that this is happening, you should know that there are others of us here (or to be more accurate, at least one other, me) who is very frustrated with the same behavior. Do you want other folks profiles too?

Jim,

Can you describe your system configuration? What cpu, what memory, how much free space on your drive, how many other processes open and active, etc? Feel free to send me (not the list) a System Profiler report too. A screen shot of a Terminal window running "top -ocpu -Otime" could also be useful.

thanks,
Godfrey

...is making my life miserable. XCode is always finding something it just absolutely index at this very second, creating a text editing experience like

hit left arrow key
(spinning rainbow of death)
type p
(spinning rainbow of death)
try to click at a different location
(spinning rainbow of death)

...two or three seconds between each key stroke. I know indexing is what makes a lot of the special features in XCode possible, but if it's done in a way that prevents you from editing your code it's not very useful, is it?

Rant over.

So am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else seeing this? Is it being fixed?

Thanks,
