Programmatically Resize NSSplitView

I used and loved RBSplitView, however I was not able to redefine it programmatically, since a certain version of xcode no longer supports IB plugins.

So I returned to using NSSplitView. NSSplitView is great for what I need, the fact is that NSSplitView autosave is broken. Therefore, I decided to implement it myself.

What I'm doing right now is resizing one of the NSSplitView subzones.

What is the correct way to resize NSSplitView? - setPositionOfDivider: itIndex: there should be a way to go (haven't tried it), however I don't know how to get the current position of the separator.

In my experience, NSSplitView hates you and wishes you harm. RBSplitView much better, it costs IMO the headache of software layout (and I was so burned with the ShortcutRecorder IB plugins that I will never return to IB modules).

That said ....

The only thing I know to determine the current position of the separator is to look at the sub-items, find the type of separator, take it in the frame and work out its position, referring to dividerThickness . It's crazy that you need to write this code, but the code is not so incredibly complex, and you can put it in a category.

Or go back to RBSplitView while you can still, if your needs are ever complex.

I use Swift here, but the same method must exist in Objective-C:

 mySplitter.setPosition(123, ofDividerAtIndex: 0)
