You're letting a template file made by a programmer that illustrates how to code decide what features your user interface will present? :-o > In my app, the user only adds a few items to the list, it is not a high > volume data tool.

But I'd still suggest that you *probably* should have the same buttons available in both orientations, even if it's in a popover triggered by a button in the toolbar. Of course, then you'll have to adjust the instructions depending on orientation. -- Uli Kusterer "The Witnesses of TeachText are everywhere..." http://www.masters-of-the-void.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
