Indeed. In the face of that, it's not clear to me why the tableview doesn't know that the representedObject is an arrayController, given that the bindings can't have been set up until after the nib is loaded. > Either way, the object you're binding to > is the view controller and not the array controller that the NSTableView > requires.

Going to code isn't too bad, tho... I haven't yet come across a situation in which it would be desirable for an NSTableView and its associated NSArrayController to be in separate nibs. I guess Apple haven't, either ;) > I guess that it would be nice if IB would let you bind directly to > representedObject when the File's Owner's class is set to an > NSViewController so that when the nib is loaded, the table view gets what it > wants. Seems like a bit of a special case to me to circumvent something that Apple could just fix properly! Mind you, it might be nice not to have to type "representedObject." in front of every binding in a view nib...
