Perhaps use compiled nibs (generated from xib files) - might save a little bit of space, especially with a lot of localizations. Only tradeoff is that they cannot be modified from within the app, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Thanks for the kind words, folks!

Sorry about the .tbz/.tgz thing. I know it’s dumb, but I wanted to switch to UTIs because they (in theory!) are more robust. Harrrumph. LaunchServices gives me what it gives me; I haven’t figured out a way around that yet. I’d welcome a patch, though, if you have any ideas.

That qualitifies as Most Stupid Change :-( .tar.something is standard naming, it’s *much* more common than .tgz etc.

On a somewhat related note, it would be nice to support .tar.lzma too…
