Definitely - that's why we've drawn our own icons that only approximate iPhoto's. > Agreed, but in the meantime using icons from iPhoto's bundle is fraught with > technical and legal complications (you have no idea if Apple has licensed the > artwork under terms that prohibit its reproduction outside of iPhoto and > standard browser controls, for example). That's true, but given that it has a well-esdatblished precedent (iMedia Browser which lots of apps use) and it wasn't cracked down upon immediately back when iApps were a new thing, it's a de-facto method that has been sanctioned by tradition, effectively. In fact by loading the icons dynamically rather than copying them into ones own bundle, strictly speaking no copying has taken place. Perhaps Apple are using the advent of sandboxing to finally crack down on this usage - but I wish if that were the case they'd be more explicit about it, rather than making you work very hard to get it functioning with sandboxing, only to reject the app AFTER all the work has been done. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
