The only two considerations: 1 - If you have a "heavy" interface that does not all need to be loaded (ie, some windows may not be used during an entire session), you'd want to separate things out into their own nibs to shorten launch time. 2 - In a larger, more complicated project, organization and working within IB can become a problem with a monolithic nib. Especially if the nib becomes corrupted at some point ... Other than the above two considerations, your approach should be fine. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
