Re: ResEdit BNDL vs RR2.0/OS 10.2.3

[Robert Presender]

Hi Mark,
Sure appreciate your and Dar's help. I think I have enough info now to start putting things together. The Show package contents bit has been learned and is very instructive.
I don't have any problem with creating icons. I have been using ResEdit and actually imported icons to the Dev Tools Icon Maker! I have been looking at your Math Generator too. Great program

I also have found info in Apple's tech notes for plst. Found stuff using Google.

Regards .... Bob

Hi Dar and Mark,
Thank you for your reply to my problem.  I think that I am getting
closer but still have questions.
I installed the OS X Dev Tools and am making some headway.  Mark, your
video was very helpful.  Please excuse my ignorance in this matter.

As much detail as possible to enable me to create what is necessary,

appreciated.

You may want to explore some .app files. They are really folders and
you can open them with "Show package contents". This may give you
some clues.

Can you point me to a .app file and where do I enter "Show package
contents".  This is new to me.

You can download one of my apps from my site:

You probably have many apps on your computer now that work this way as
well.  Try Internet Explorer.  Just right click or control click on
that program.  A contextual menu will show with show the option to
"show package contents".  From there you will be able to take a peak
inside.

When 2.0 comes, the standalones it creates will look
familiar.

Will I still be faced with this problem or will 2.0 provide steps in
the bldr to solve my current problem?

I am currently using MC and do not have access to Rev 2.0 to answer
this question.  Sry.

Dar Scott

I made a QT video that shows the editing of the packages.  While it
does not have any audio, it will give you an idea of how it works.
You
can view it at:

Thanks Mark.  Still digesting the info.  Can you clue me in how to
create  Pkg info and info.plist
I down loaded Math generator and thought that I would get more info
thru ResEdit but discovered that there are no resource forks.

In MC, when you create your standalone, a .plist file is created for
you. You then go into the package and edit that file. You can simply
double-click on the file and it will open up the property list editor
program for you. From there just do what the video showed you.
Creating the icon files is a bit more work that my video does not show.
In short, I use Graphic Converter to make those files. They are .tiff
images that you then put into one of the icon editors that came with
the X dev tools. It saves the icons out as .icns files.

Hope this helps get you started.
