Hi,
many thanks to all those who gave me hints.
One of the most important was the link to
http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/tutorials/showpage.php?show=00000059.php
whichs is sample code. Apparently, it uses the NSBundle's class method
+ (NSArray *)pathsForResourcesOfType:(NSString *)extension
inDirectory:(NSString *)bundlePath
and passing the
- (NSString *)builtInPlugInsPath
of the main bundle.
My working code now looks like:
{
NSArray *theplugins=[NSBundle pathsForResourcesOfType:@"bundle"
inDirectory:[[NSBundle mainBundle] builtInPlugInsPath]];
NSEnumerator* enumerator = [theplugins objectEnumerator];
NSString* pluginPath;
while((pluginPath=[enumerator nextObject]))
{
Class c=[[NSBundle bundleWithPath:pluginPath] principalClass];
if(c != nil && [c
instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(write:asType:)])
{
id o=[[[c alloc] init] autorelease];
NSData *d;
d=[o write:self asType:aType];
if(d)
return d; // ok, has been converted
}
}
return nil;
}
Apparently, the documentation for
+ (NSArray *)pathsForResourcesOfType:(NSString *)extension
inDirectory:(NSString *)bundlePath
is wrong, as it states that the search path is
<main bundle path>/Resources/bundlePath/name.extension
<main bundle path>/Resources/bundlePath/<language.lproj>/name.extension
<main bundle path>/bundlePath/name.extension
<main bundle path>/bundlePath/<language.lproj>/name.extension
But if that were true, it should NOT work passing builtInPlugInsPath.
I assume, the search path is
bundlePath/name.extension
bundlePath/<language.lproj>/name.extension
with bundlePath being absolute.
Apple, please correct or make the description and the differences
between
+ (NSArray *)pathsForResourcesOfType:(NSString *)extension
inDirectory:(NSString *)bundlePath
- (NSArray *)pathsForResourcesOfType:(NSString *)extension
inDirectory:(NSString *)bundlePath
more clear.
