Congratulations, nice app. Just the UX's from the 90's ;)

Any suggestion on how to improve filtering for 68,000 items beyond an NSTableView?

[billyhoffman]

Its not about NSTableView. It's things like:

- Gray boxes around some controls, not around others

- Control layout. What's up with that sea of nothingness in the top right?

- No titles/labels for each odd grouping of controls

- I'm seeing horizontal scroll bars something in the tables, but the text isn't wide enough to need a scroll bar (Yosemite)

- OK button just kind of sitting in the middle?

- No cancel/revert function

- No standard window "close" button, just minimize or that weird "OK"

This is just a bad setting screen layout with really unpolished design. It looks like controls were just dragging and dropped in interface builder. I would suggest that you go and look at the settings dialogs other Mac apps like Mail, etc.

@billyhoffman is right, avoid UI pollution as much as you can.

I think you already reuse as much UI cell as you can (wild guess)? By using this method: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/...

If nothing works, a bad solution but an efficient one could be to setup a "load more" or a "paging" UX.
