It’s been a week or so since I’ve released the source to my Inspector panel for Mac OS X (Leopard only). Well, using that code was a little… inconvenient, for a number of reasons. So, I’ve made it a lot more convenient for developers to use.
Introducing, InspectorKit! InspectorKit is both a framework and an Interface Builder plugin. You can check out the source on github. This is basically a major update to the Inspector panel, as it packages all the code into a convenient framework for developers to include in their projects, and allows them to test the inspector at design time.
Take a look at a demo of the IB plugin in action, by clicking the image below:
Feel free to download InspectorKit.zip or download its source code and pay attention to the README file!
Steven,
I will have to check this out, glad to see that it was updated to be an IB Plugin will make it much easier to use. Did you fix any of the issues that were pointed out in the other posts comments. The mouse cursor etc. or was this just a conversion and not fixing?
Joseph:
I fixed a few issues, one of them being related to the mouse cursor. But the majority of the work was put into converting this code into a plugin/framework.
For Your Information: I have added InspectorKit to the code section of The Mac Developer Network website.
I would be grateful if you would check the entry at http://www.mac-developer-network.com/code/inspectorkit/
Thanks Scotty
Oh wow! This is exactly what I need. So beautiful! So simple! I thorougly thank you
This looks very nice but can we get it so that we can still have horizontal resize working. These panels are only a fixed width and it would be really nice to be able to have these bigger / smaller in some cases. BTW thanks for the kit though!
This is really great.
Is there a way to bind the collapsed/uncollapsed state of each pane to the Shared User Defaults Controller?
Really great work. And seems much more easy and efficient than using OmniInspectors framework.
Thank you for sharing it.
This is great!. Will this run on snow leopard?
