When you make a Mach-O build, it builds the bundle for you, thats great, except that the whole thing is deleted each time. So if you've added your own helper apps or extra resources or whatever to the bundle, they get deleted and have to be replaced into the new bundle. Like I said, minor, but since you'll be doing this 100 times a day while working on something it becomes a major waste of effort and time.

Let me suggest a work-around. Make an AppleScript that tells RB to do the build, and then moves your extra stuff into it (and launches it, if you like). Stick this in your Extras menu, and use that instead of Run/Build.

Your feature request would still be better, of course, but maybe this will help you in the meantime.

And how about sharing that Applescript so those of us who know nothing about Applescript don't have to spend considerable trying to figure out how to write one.
