Bill, what I do is just expand everything in the gutter under window (opt-click), then stick the constraint + number in the filter bar (leading + 749, in your case).
Yes, I do that, too, when I'm editing the storyboard (or, in your example, a nib file). But the XML view is better for quick scanning of both overall structure and detail. Literally everything in the file is already fully expanded, and all of the details of each item are laid out on a line of text in one place together with labels. I don't have to expand things in the left sidebar, select a constraint of interest, and look over to the right sidebar to see its settings, and then repeat the process to examine the next constraint. All I have to do is scroll. Plus, settings are visible in the XML format that aren't visible at all in the Interface Builder - Storyboard format.
Just to be clear, the "749" I'm looking for is a priority setting, not a number of horizontal points as can be seen in "leading + 749" reference. Using your technique, I would have to select a constraint and then look over to the right side bar in order to see the associated priority setting.
