Xcode feature requests
Just filed a couple of feature requests/bug reports with Apple (see? this time I’m not too annoyed to file a report):
- The ability for Target Templates to contain files (like Project Templates can); this would make it a heck of a lot easier to do things like adding preference panes to existing projects.
- Apple should update their templates to use "en" for the
CFBundleDevelopmentRegion
setting and thelproj
folder, bringing them into line with their own recommendations; as things currently stand if a developer wants to do the right thing and actually follow Apple’s recommendations he/she must make this fiddly changes by hand for every single project.
These get added to my previous request to have Info.plist processing work on InfoPlist.strings files as well. Wonder when Apple will do that one… I may just have to quickly whip something up to do it myself…
[Update: I’ve now updated Wincent Strings Utility to do the InfoPlist.strings preprocessing. I’ll prepare a 1.1b release which includes the new feature soon. Now I just have to go about converting a bunch of projects over to use the new functionality.]
