Greetings, I have followed the Interface Builder Plug-in Programmation Guide in order to make my first ibplugin and there is one problem I haven't been able to solve yet. It is stated that when opening a nib file, interface builder looks at every linked-in framework from the associated xcode project and automatically loads all the ibplugins located in the resources folder of these frameworks. And this is the only behaviour which I can't reproduce.
I have already searched a lot in order to make this work and up to now, I am using @loader_path/../Frameworks as the installation directory for my framework. I have added a run script build phase which creates a symbolic link in the Contents folder of my ibplugin file so that it points to the location where my Framework resides (6 folders higher in the folder hierarchy: ../../../../../..) and this way I have been able to load up my plugin both in my application and through the plugins tab in Interface Builder's preferences. Although, if I start Interface Builder without having the plugin already installed and that I open up a nib from a xcode project which links with my framework, it fails to load the nib file saying that the required plug-ins aren't installed. I have tried running Interface Builder from the command line in order to see any error messages but nothing is being printed to the console unlike what happens if I try to manually install the plug-in. In fact I used these console errors to figure out how to create my symbolic link. Now that I've presented my problem, here is my question. Is it possible that @loader_path is different when Interface Builder loads up ibplugins from linked-in frameworks than when one manually adds a plugin through the preferences window? If that is the case, maybe another well placed symbolic link could finally allow my plugin to work in every use case I can imagine. thanks -Dalzhim _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
