VERPACK 0.4
-----------

WHAT IS IT?
Verpack is an application that reads xCode project files. It goes through a project's list of files and copies all files except those in the "Products" and "Frameworks" groups and the project file itself, and arranges them in a distribution folder next to your project, keeping their relative hierarchy intact. ".svn" folders, ".DS_Store" files and the "XXX.pbxuser" and "XXX.mode2" files as they're found in Xcode projects are ignored when copying (i.e. end up filtered out).

WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
If you ever had to redistribute code you wrote to other people, you'll know how hard it can be to collect together all those different source files for a project from various folders. Verpack reads the list of files from the same place where the compiler gets them, meaning it's unlikely it'll miss something.

HOW DO I USE IT?
Drop any .xcodeproj, .xcode or .pbproj package on Verpack's icon. That will open the project and list its contents. At the top there's an outline view with the entire project structure, at the bottom in the text view there'll be a list of all files in the project, with their full pathnames, plus a list of the files that were copied or any errors. Verpack will attempt to recreate the folder hierarchy. For this to be useful, your project must refer to its files with project-relative file paths.

ISN'T THIS ... CRUDE?
Yeah. This is simply a tool I wrote for myself in a couple of hours to save me work redistributing project files. It's not polished or anything. If you think this is worth developing into a real product, let me know.
