I am using Interface Builder with a Carbon CodeWarrior 9 project (yes,
I do plan to switch to X-Code soon).
There is a mystery I would like to solve and the Interface Builder
documentation is non-existent with respect to how the Images tab works
in this case.
The short summary is that I am seeing a lot of items in the Images tab
and I do not know how they are getting in there.
When I open my nib file, which is located in the same folder as the
project file and select the Images tab, I see 70+ PICTs, ICNSs, etc.
appear. Now, I recognize all of these items as they are associated with
my application, but I am uncertain how Interface Builder knew to
display them in the Images tab. I am not aware of anything I may have
done to make this happen.
I have opened up the various XML files in the nib and the Interface
Builder plist, but saw nothing in them that pointed to the resource
file(s) these PICTs, etc. are stored in.
The resource files in the project folder, which contain these PICTs,
etc. are resource fork files. They are made into datafork versions for
the final build of the application and the application exists outside
of the project folder.
The PICTs, etc. in the Images tab cannot be deleted. When selecting
some of them, the Attributes area in the Inspector shows Location: n/a.
Can anyone explain this? Is there documentation covering this anywhere?
I would like to make use of the Images tab, but cannot really do so
until I understand how it works.
