Hi Jon,

Thanks for the suggestions.

My disappearing pane problem was solved when I switched to an outline view after your suggestion.

The bindings problem was bad enough that I subclassed NSCollectionViewItem and did all the bindings manually. This nib file is one of three nib files that was cloned from an original test case that worked fine after some tweaking. The other two work fine after some renaming of some items in the view belonging to the NSCollectionViewItem, but the third case broke badly after I put an NSBox above the collection view.

As I recall, the original test case had problems with two boxes with the same (hidden) title within a view belonging to an NSCollectionViewItem, and I could not make it work until I gave the titles different names. All four bound items within the view of the NSCollectionViewItem would take turns not working until after some renaming of titles and re-specifying of the bindings.

I'll have to see if I can come up with a simple reproducible case.

DC

I'm frustrated with IB3 because when I try to adjust a nib, it breaks some previously correct bindings. Then I find I have to either rename elements of the nib, or remove then recreate identical binding information in order to make it work again.

I haven't ever heard of anything like this, could you please file a radar with a reproducible test case so that we can fix it for you? Are you cutting and pasting objects resulting in the disconnection of bindings?




I'm also frustrated because sometimes when I adjust settings in an inspector pane, the pane disappears. I have to click on another item then back to the original item in order to keep making adjustments.

This is just a hunch, but I think this may be happening to you because of a bug in the way IB handles the browser view in the main nib window. If you use the browser view in the main nib window, consider switching to he outline or icon mode until the next release of Interface Builder.




Are there workarounds to make using IB3 easier? Any updates coming? Where would I get an update, in Software Update or from Apple Developer Connection?

Apple Developer Connection will be updated when the next release of Interface Builder is available. In the mean time, we'll take your bug reports very seriously. I encourage you to file them, so that we can build a product you enjoy working with.


Good Luck -
Jon Hess



Thanks,
DC
