Hi Chris,
Would this also mean the we need a /System/Library/Inspectors
/System/Library/Finder /System/Library/TextConverters
/System/Library/GSPrinting just no name a view others that are
falling in the
same category. Or am I somehow missing the point here?
I don't know ;-)
As I said, this was just a thought, and *I* could probably be mistaken.
The way I see it is that Bundles are part of an application, that
could possibly be used by other applications as well. For example,
think of a web browser that has a generic history manager in a bundle.
An FTP client could re-use said bundle for it's download history.
(Stupid example, but you get the idea).
OTOH, a preference pane of SystemPreferences is different, IMPOV.
Sure, it is implemented as a bundle, but its only purpose is to
provide a "service" in/to SystemPreferences and no other application
_should_ use it (of course they could, but I do not see a point in
doing so).
So, the only reason for storing preference panes NOT in .../Bundles/
is to distinguish between a 'real' bundle and a pref-pane. IMHO, this
would make the Library directory look a bit 'cleaner.'
Question to the OSX users -- how/where does OSX store pref panes?
Maybe we could/should just mimick their setup.
