    Hi Brendan
    Amongst the myriad other stuff, is there any chance of this happening any time soon?
    Cheers

    Hi Tony,

    On Mac the way to get collapsible sections is to use an NSOutlineView. I’m currently using an NSTableView to display the Default Layout. It may cause a lot of troubles doing that and having to write a bunch more code, so I’m not sure. But I’ll think about it. I’d rather spend my time fixing bugs at the moment than adding new features. Hope you understand.

    Of course I understand. I know you are super busy coping with everything at the moment. All praise for Tap Forms 5.
    It would make reviewing forms with loads of fields and sections so much easier. I will wait!
    Cheers

    I second this suggestion. What does “NS” in “NSOutlineView” and “NSTableView” mean, and how do I access it?

    The “NS” stands for “NeXT Step”. Remember that OS X was originally from Steve Job’s NeXT company many years ago before Apple bought it. So that’s a legacy naming convention.

    Got it. So, how does one access those views in TapForms? Or are you talking about some other application? Or am I still not understanding?
