Hi...

If one wants to run a tool and +[NSBundle mainBundle] is called it will run into serious trouble...

Imagine you have a tool which fullpath is
/imagine/your/favourite/path/tool

+[NSBundle mainBundle] first generates
toolName = tool
path = /imagine/your/favourite/path

Afterwards it checks path for having a .app/.debug etc suffix. When this suffix is not present (look above) the tool is declared to be a non-application (isApplication = NO). And now the bug happens.

   if (isApplication == NO)
   {
     path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"Resources"];
     path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent: toolName];
    }

So path is now: /imagine/your/favourite/path/Resources/tool which is then used for [_mainBundle initWithPath:path] which fails.... So if you have a standalone tool, do you really need this directory-structure for it??? It looks a bit odd to me....

To get my tools working I commented out the if() shown above and everything is fine now for me...
The attached patch does this as well....

Roland
