sam
thank you!
i was begining to worry...
**
things i need help with:
icons. icons. icons.
first i still need to figure out how to change the main icon. i tried kberg's post, but nothing changed... (don't worry kberg i am sure it is my bad xcode skills not your syntax)
but the neolauncher needs icons as well! i'd like to change the openoffice icons to neo-icons. i suppose i could use the icons for the file types... that ok? or are there other suggestions?

That would be a good thing. Though Daniel might have the source files to make a few without the ships at the bottom which might be better for an application that is already called NeoOffice Launcher..
Best wishes,

I might be missing something here, but I was able to change the application icon:
1. Create a .icns file using the Icon Composer
2. Add it to the project.
3. In the Project menu, select "Edit active target neolauncher"
4. under info.plist entries, choose "Application Icon"
5. type in the file name.
6. rebuild. |

You know that if you change stuff in the info.plist file of an app that has been launched before, it's usually cached, so the change you make (e.g. using NSUIElement to stop it loading in the dock or whatever it may be) will not always manifest until you move the app to another folder and then move it back again, which will make OSX re-read the info.plist file.
This drove me nuts until I discovered it - 'why are my changes not being applied? aragh!' etc.

Don't worry. My Xcode skills are far worse than yours
I do have a book somewhere though ... |

even with google, things are hard to find.
though this is a good place to start:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/index.html
only kinda helps me, since i am still on xcode 1.5...
but the applescript stuff is decent.
still.need.book.mmmmm.book.

I thought the reference library was available offline, directly from Xcode or one of the developer tools ? I've actually never tried to access it this way, but I keep applying Reference Library updates each month ...
The book I have is "The Mac Xcode 2 Book" by Michael and Dennis Cohen. I've only read the first chapter, so it's too early to recommend it (or not), but although it looks like it contains a lot of information, I find the authors' tone too informal. Of course, some of the features described will not apply to older versions of Xcode. |

i'm looking at the definitive guide for applescript right now. i wish there was an applescript cookbook, but alas, it isn't perl.
the internal documentation is there. it is ok. better than some but nothing to write home about.
the big issue is finding things. i'll spend longer searching through the documentation then reading and learning whatever it was i wanted to know. |

ok, so not sure who reads my ramblings =) but here we go:
i was thinking about the clip art program. right now it puts it in the neo program itself. someone suggested the preferences folder instead (i think).
which is doable (if someone reminds me where that is)
the main issue is that the program itself still needs to be updated. right now you go in and do it manually. what i'd like to do is update whatever file holds the clipart information during the 'install' so that the user doesn't come back and say "but it didn't do anything.."
anyone know where this file is, or how oo.o stores this information? |

Reads ramblings
Suggested Not-in-Application.
Suggested in ~/Documents (hmmm works for one user, what about others? )
Don't know where "preferences folder" for Neo is
( Hmmm, Neo Preferences folder "might" be a good location! )
