Localized and Non-Localized Resources

Given that within a bundle the resources are stored in data fork resource files separately from the executable, they can be further split between localizable and non-localizable resources. The 'thng' resources are stored in the non-localized resource file.

In the case of a CFM executable, 'cfrg' resources would also be in that file. Using it in a bundled package, you can use the CF bundle APIs to gain access to pieces of this bundle programmatically, without having to know the organization of a bundle. You can get at resource files -- the Info.plist itself -- and actually store things in the property list for use by your component.

The names of these bundled packages can be:

The Component Manager will scan a directory looking for names of these bundled packages.

Of the possible name choices available, Apple recommends that you name your component with a .qtx extension. This is preferred because it identifies the component as a QuickTime component.
