Well, I think I have bumbled my way towards a working solution that seems to work (tested on OS 10.9), although this was largely through trial and error and so might not be the best way of doing things. Thankyou very much to everyone who offered help on and off list.
One indirect clue I found was here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27374355/nssavepanel-crashes-on-yosemite (I encountered the same issue if I set translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints=NO in the nib itself) Another was the failure of my attempts to manually set my own constraints on my view, after adding it to the NSOpenPanel. As far as I can tell, the act of adding it causes NSOpenPanel to apply some fairly aggressive auto-constraints, and I didn’t manage to work out how I could override them. That might somewhat explain why my attempts to change things in my nib file weren’t having much effect - I suspect that NSOpenPanel is specifically overriding certain properties with ones it has chosen itself. Anyway, long story short: AFTER adding the view as openPanel.accessoryView, I manually set the view rectangle to fill its parent view, and then I do: viewController.view.autoresizingMask = NSViewWidthSizable | NSViewHeightSizable; // Must be done AFTER adding as accessory view This seems to result in the behaviour I want (my view fills the available space, and scales as the window is resized). This works regardless of whether the nib itself is set to autolayout or not. Hopefully that information might be of some use for posterity.
