IB adds constraints to both the NSImageView and its superview. I believe that this is why deleting a constraint causes it to come back (it's in two views).
Here's what I recommend: - Delete the NSImageView which will also delete the associated constraints. - Drag a new NSImageView to the window (i.e. the main view of the window). - Resize the NSImageView to fit inside the frame of its containing view. - Select NSImageView, by double clicking on the NSImageView in the list of objects. Now, from the Editor menu select "Align -> Horizontal Center in Container" and "Align -> Vertical Center in Container." (You can also do that by clicking on the leftmost icon of the constraints control at the bottom right of the IB view.) That should do it. Adding those alignment constraints deleted the trailing and bottom constraints. Chuck On 4/25/13 4:39 PM, "Rick Mann" <rm...@latencyzero.com> wrote: >I put an NSImageView into a window.
