Long filename, short NSTextField...
-
Hello,
this is probably a newbie question but I can't find any info on how to
truncate and append "..." to a filename which does not fit in an
NSTextField. Also, how would I go about doing the same with a full path,
i.e. truncating at the beginning (the directories) and prepending "..."?
Should I code it all by hand?
Thanks in advance!

In IB, bring up the inspector for your various NSTextField objects and
set the "line breaks" to any of the "truncate" options that you need.

I encourage you not to use NSTextField to show a path. Instead, use
NSPathControl.
