Dev:PreferenceBundles

Preference Bundles are bundles for extending the Settings application.

Structure of a Preference Bundle
Preference bundles should have an extension of .bundle. The principle class of the bundle should be a subclass of PSListController. Most of the time there are lots of preference specifier plists which defines a page of setting. If a specifier plist is called spec.plist, there should be a corresponding localization file called spec.strings. The bundle can have a 29&times;29 icon, with a preferred name of icon.png.

Adding a Preference Bundle
To add a preference bundle foo.bundle to the front page of the Settings application, save this as a plist in /Library/PreferenceLoader/Preferences/: entry = { bundle = foo; cell = PSLinkCell; icon = icon.png; isController = 1; label = "Description of the setting"; };

PSTitleValueCell
Displaying a value with PSTitleValueCell like Preferences -> General -> About Add the cell to your plist: {           cell = PSTitleValueCell; get = "valueForSpecifier:"; label = Version; },

Add the getter method to your controller:
