[TxMt] Question on tm_dialog: NIB as table editor

[Chris Thomas]

I don't think there's a way to set the number of columns in an  
NSTableView via bindings. If you can live with a static number of  
columns, the rest is easy. You'll need to rewrite the tab-delimited  
data as entries in an array of dictionaries for the plist:

{nameOfColumn1 => row1valueForColumn1
...
nameOfColumnN => row1valueForColumnN},
{nameOfColumn1 => row2valueForColumn1
...
nameOfColumnN => row2valueForColumnN}...

And, in IB, bind the columns individually to "controller.nameOfColumnN".
