MonoTouch 5.4, XCode (newest)

We have many apps that share a common splash screen. We'd like to have 1 real folder, then have all the variations of Default.png for each and exist as Links to that simple folder so as to make editing more efficient.

When we set a Default.png file to Link and Content, we can not see it in the Project's Properties. When we move a copy physically to the root of the project, it appears and works.

Is there a way to have Default.png exist as a link in each project?

I did a test and using a symlink worked. And Git handles file synlinks OK if you use it for version control.

For example:

$ rm Default.png
$ ln -s ../../Common/splash-iPhone.png Default.png

When run, Default.png on the simulator was a "real" file.

  • Well, you did ask "Is there a way to have Default.png exist as a link in each project?" and my UN*Xy solution should work ;-). I would create a Xamarin feature request via https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=MonoTouch if you want a more MonoDevelop centric solution. – t9mike Sep 14 '12 at 21:40
