I know a while back there was some discussion about how to get XCode to generate sub-folders when you have a gazillion things in your Resources group that are in nice little groups but then get mass copied into the Resources folder as one big mess. Anyway, I was messing around with organizing my project today and it turns out that if you drop a folder into your project window and specify "Create Folder References for any added folders", it will indeed create the folder references and when you build the app, it will create the sub-folders and put your files in there. Much better than having 50+ files in there, I think.

The problem is that it won't recognize individual files being updated within those folder references, so you'll have to build clean each time you change a resource. Go Xcode!

The ultimate solution is to write a shell script build phase that copies the resources however you like. It can also be handy to have that shell script build phase make symbolic links when it's making a debug build, so that you can edit resources and have the change take effect without a rebuild.

Ah, that's right. I had forgotten about that. Ah well. I guess I'll be writing that shell script then.

Edit: Wait, before I go off to do this, anyone have any example shell scripts they use for this? It's been a really, really long time since I've done shell scripting.
