Question

I am trying to update an Xcode project. The update is to replace an image that is displayed in a static window. I replaced the image being called, the new image has the same name and size, but when I open the window, the image does not fill the entire window like the original image did. I a new developer in general, but a total newbie when it comes to XCode. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Replacing an image file in a Xcode project can be done as:

1. Go to File in Xcode using the Project Navigator.
2. Right click the file and pick “Show in Finder”
3. Drag new file into as same folder as the old file. (make sure the old file and the file have the same name)
4. Say yes, you want to replace the file.

And your done.

Compile and run will show the new image. I’ve done this hundreds of times, usually updating placeholder images and never had any trouble.

As for your particular problem, you didn’t describe the steps you used to replace the image, so I can’t testify on that, but if you do the above and don’t get the results you want it’s going to be from a bad image file (different size, etc).
