Cocoa Mac OS X 应用程序捆绑 1000 个图像

Question

We have a Cocoa Mac OS X application in which we want to bundle around 500 images. Each image is around 10kb so size isn't a problem.

These images are not exactly resources in the app, they are sample images.

Basically, we have simple button that would let the user copy these images to a directory.

The solution also needs to be "dump in, dump out" -- so we don't want to store individual image file names somewhere in our application; we just want to have a directory of images that can be copied.

How do I package these into my application?

The question turns into: How do I make a directory resource containing the images.

In our case everything gets flattened into the MyApp.app/Contents/Resources and this approach would require us to put image names in the app so that we can copy those.

Answer 1

Put the images into a folder. Drag the folder into your project in Xcode. In the resulting dialog, make sure you copy, make sure you create a folder reference , and make sure you add to your app target. Done. Now the folder is part of your app bundle and you can refer to it from your code without knowing anything about its contents.

Answer 2

The folder /Library/Application Support is for support files that, if deleted, would not affect the execution of an application. I would suggest this is ideal for your product's sample images.

As Apple's documentation states for Application Support :

Use this directory to store all app data files except those associated with the user's documents. For example, you might use this directory to store app-created data files, configuration files, templates, or other fixed or modifiable resources that are managed by the app. An app might use this directory to store a modifiable copy of resources contained initially in the app's bundle.

So, use pkgbuild / productbuild to install them to /Library/Application Support/<ProductName>/

因为大小不是问题，您可以将所有示例图像放在单独的资产目录文件中。
