What I was thinking was have the initial XML file in the app's bundle, then include the default template images in a media folder within the app's directory, say /Applications/MyApp/media or some such naming scheme. What should I be doing instead, and what frameworks/etc should I be looking into to do this "correctly" according to Apple's standards?




If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, here's how you want to do it:


1) Have the initial XML contained as a resource in your apps bundle.

2) Copy it to ~/Library/Application Support/your_app_name_here/ media/your_xml.xml

3) Modify that copy.


Great, that's helpful! ^_^ So then where do I keep the default files to be loaded? (The ones specified in the XML file.) Obviously I want this to work on any system... Should I perhaps store the default images in the .app bundle as well, and copy the ENTIRE file there if the library directory does not exist? (In case it's a fresh install, or the user is stupid and changes the folder name...)
