I have been trying to open a NIB file that I created with Apples's
Interface Builder (and then saved as a NIB instead of the default XIB),
transfer it to my Windows XP machine (which has GNUstep installed on it)
and open the NIB file with Gorm. The Gorm website mentions that Gorm can
handle these files, but it does not seem to work. If I try to "Open" the
file from within Gorm, the ".nib" files are not even displayed. If I
launch Gorm from the command line with the .nib file as an argument,
Gorm launches, but nothing is actually shown (as though I had launched
it without any target at all). Is what I am trying to do even possible?
Thanks,
Peter
Just a thought: NIBs are bundles (with another .nib file inside), XIBs
are files.
Did you copy the full bundle to open with Gorm?

Yes, I copied the whole thing over (in Windows, the "MainMenu.nib" file
is actually shown as a folder with two files, "designable.nib" and
"keyedobjects.nib" in it). This arrangement seems to work with my app on
Windows - that is, I see the main window and the correct content and
everything (just the menus don't seem to work for some reason), I just
would like to be able to edit the NIB files in Gorm instead of having to
go back to IB all the time.
Thanks,
Peter
