In the build tab of your target properties, you can enable the
"preserve hfs data" setting. Data fork resources aren't anything
magic, it's exactly the same content, just stored in the data fork of
the file. You can for instance do
cat myresourcefile/..namedfork/rsrc >mydatafile
And yet one of the great features of Tiger is that "cp" now copies
resource
forks automatically, so what would Xcode be doing to subvert this
feature,
and why? m.
Because cp used to unconditionally strip resource forks, and now
unconditionally preserves them. CpMac (the tool Xcode uses) gives a
choice, and we've been told that developers like such choices,
especially those that insulate you from changes in the underlying OS.
