I've gone through Interface Builder's docs, and I can't seem to find the answer. If you have a NIB file window with lots of controllers instantiated, it's hard to see them all with the default window size. If I resize the NIB file window so they all can be seen, sometimes the new window size gets saved, and sometimes it doesn't. It reverts back to the small size the next time the NIB is opened in IB. Am I missing some magic key sequence that tells IB to save the NIB file window's size and location?

Hey Dave,

This probably isn't a huge help, but Interface Builder does store this information inside each .NIB bundle, specifically the info.nib file. The info.nib file is actually a standard xml property list containing one dictionary and is editable in any text editor. The key you'd be interested in is:
<key>IBDocumentLocation</key>
<string>83 20 462 260 0 0 1024 746 </string>


The <string> is a usual saved NSWindow frame.

Knowing where IB stores this information doesn't really solve the issue though, and I'm also unsure about how to trigger IB into writing unsaved changes about the document window into it. I agree it would be nice to know!

Hopefully the revamped Interface Builder released with Leopard will have this behavior taken care of more reliably.

Anyway, good luck.

By the way: Nice blog post about Objective-C Delegate Optimization - it was a good read.
