NSPathControl will not display placeholderString when bound to a value

Question

Subject says is all.

I created an NSPathControl with a placeholder message in IB. Ran app, placeholder text appears.

I then bound the value of the control to an NSURL* property of my controller. Now, the placeholder text never appears, even when the property value is nil.

Stumped.

You need to set the placeholder in the binding, under the appropriate fields No Selection Placeholder and/or Null Placeholder.

Thanks! Null Placeholder was the missing piece to the puzzle. – James Bucanek Dec 09 '16 at 23:46
