OR, they could just *fix the bug* in the API. Imagine that.

I imagine that loadNibNamed:owner:, imageNamed:, and their ilk use NSBundle, so this is likely just a bug in NSBundle. All they'd have to do is fix the bug in NSBundle, and these things would work properly. The old MacOS, and also Carbon apps on OS X, handled applications getting moved while open *just fine* so I think this shouldn't be *that* hard for Apple to fix.

But if your solution is to throw up a dialog box that says "Hey, there's a big bug here, and we couldn't be bothered to fix it, so we'll just warn you about it instead." Great... why don't you go work for Microsoft?
