XIB is the "modern" format for saving IB files in. An XIB is
"compiled" to a NIB when you build your application (a type of NIB
that can't be opened for modification by IB). This "compiled" NIB is
support on operating systems before Leopard. XIB however can only be
opened by IB 3.0 (or later) and IB 3.0 requires Leopard.

I read all that. I was just checking in to confirm. NIB files have been so finicky throughout the years. I just want to make sure I don't get burned converting to XIB.


So, it looks like XIB is the way to go. Anyone have any "real life experience" with 100s of nibs/xibs? any gotchas? I guess I will find out first hand!

thanks!-
