Nothing prevents me from doing it. It's just that
6 potential function calls instead of 1 or 2
seems like a hassle to write out every time. So
instead of doing this (in the simple case with no
replacement necessary):
StopAlert (kDescriptive_ALRT_ID, NULL);
I now have to do this:
NSRunAlertPanel(NSLocalizedString(@"I wish I got
paid by the character to program, but I don't",
@"What is this unused comment for again?"),
NSLocalizedString(@"Now the somewhat descriptive
message", @"And another unused comment here"),
nil, nil, nil);
I'd rather read my version than yours. Don't get
me wrong, I like the localized string mechanism
in general. I just think it's way overkill for
this. But if that's the standard way to do it,
I'll do it that way.
Thanks,
Darrin
