I’m aware of bare bones sample / tutorial implementations of NSPredicateEditor:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/PredicateEditorSample/Introduction/Intro.html
The only places I’ve seen UI resembling a NSPredicateEditors in real applications are the Smart Playlist form in iTunes and the photo filter form in Aperture. I’m curious about conventions for:
- Placement of a NSPredicateEditor in relation to a table view.
- UI to hide and reveal the NSPredicateEditor.
- Buttons (if any) to apply the predicate.
What are other examples of effective implementations of NSPredicateEditor in real applications?
cmd–f in Finder will bring up an advanced find window, which features a predicate editor with an accompanying tableview.
