What is it?

MoreIsBetter is the humble beginning of an attempt to provide an equivalent of MoreFiles for the rest of the Mac OS toolbox. MoreFiles, of course, is the legendary code sample and library which makes programming File Manager tolerable. It provides indispensable work-arounds and illustrations which have made hundreds of applications perform better. MoreIsBetter aspires to all that.

OK, but what specifically?

What has changed recently?

While it is hard to maintain detailed release notes, we do have a high-level overview of recent changes.

Who’s responsible?

MoreIsBetter is a collective effort on the part of Worldwide Developer Technical Support. Contributors include and/or have included:

  • Pete Gontier
  • Quinn "The Eskimo!"

How should bugs be reported?

Send them to where you usually do: RadarWeb. File reports against one of the MoreIsBetter components, of course.

Who’s using MoreIsBetter?

Many developers (even some you've heard of) are using code from MoreIsBetter. But what we hope you're really asking is how to get in touch with the MoreIsBetter community. That's easy: subscribe to the MoreIsBetter Clients discussion mailing list. On this list, you'll find users of MoreIsBetter as well as (some of) its maintainers.

Can this code be used without legal hassles?

Look at the blurb of legalese in each source file. Ask your lawyers if it's OK. If you find a file in MoreIsBetter which doesn't bear a similar blurb of legalese, file a bug and we'll try to fix it in the next release. (Note that these HTML files do not carry similar legalese blurbs.)
