Question

If I have a bundle that contains a class and some resources used by that class. If I load the class from the bundle how should I load the resources(that are in the bundle where I loaded the class from) in that class?

Let’s say I want to load an image inside my object instantiated from the class loaded from the bundle.
If I do

NSImage *image = [NSImage imageNamed:@"myImage"];

Will it load the image that’s inside the bundle from where I loaded the class from? or will it look in the bundle of the application that loaded the bundle with the class and resources?

Answer 1

This method searches for named images
in several places, returning the first
image it finds matching the given
name. The order of the search is as
follows:

1. Search for an object whose name was
   set explicitly using the setName:
   method and currently resides in the
   image cache.
2. Search the application’s
   main bundle for a file whose name
   matches the specified string. (For
   information on how the bundle is
   searched, see ““Accessing a Bundle’s
   Contents”“ in Bundle Programming
   Guide.)
3. Search the Application Kit
   framework for a shared image with the
   specified name. When looking for files
   in the application bundle, it is
   better (but not required) to include
   the filename extension in the name
   parameter. (Link)
