Re: Gorm, NSCollectionView

[Gregory Casamento]

Fred,

I will be working on getting those files merged this weekend for the new classes.  I was very busy last week.  I'll advise as to my progress.

Hi,

I would lile to open a xib file created under Xcode and that has an
empty NSCollectionView, how can I slightly
modify the GSXibKeyedUnarchiver to ignore this object or to display a
dummy view ?
Here is an extract of the xib file :

Actually my goal is only to see what this xib file looks like inside
Gorm and not to edit or change any properties.
Could it be done by a quick and dirty hack ?
Could I substitute the NSCollectionView by a NSCustomView during xml
parsing ?

I am fed up with switching between my pc and my mac mini ...

If you want do do this in code the simplest way to replace a class is calling the class method setClass:forClassName: on NSKeyedUnarchiver, replacing NSCollectionView with NSView. Of course you could do the same by editing the XIB file.

But for NSCollectionView there is an even better solution. We already have code for this in the GNUstep repository, it is in the testplant branch. Gregory wanted to merge these files (and a lot more) over the last weekend. Looks like he didn't get around to do this. I could easily add these files myself, but I am not sure whether this is OK for Greg.
If you just need NSCollectionView for a test, switch to that branch and compile gui from there.

Fred
