Actually this doesn't work. I created a resource file with BNDL and FREF resources, two icon families, and an owner resource with my custom creator code; and selected this in the Distribution Builder. Only my custom creator code made it through to the Mac standalone; the other resources failed to overwrite the standard Revolution resources which naturally have the same ID. It would be tremendously helpful to fix this. It would also be useful to have a checkbox on the Mac tab of the resource builder to specify whether the 'hasBeenInited' flag should be set.
