Hi All,

Quick question regarding Xcode.
When I make new files it generates the usual:
/*
* untitled.h
* Project
*
* Created by bla bla on Fri Jan 09 2004.
* Copyright (c) 2004 __MyCompanyName__. All rights reserved.
*
*/

Anybody know how to set what it automatically generates, or at least set your company name? I've look everywhere in preferences, both in Xcode and Project builder.. anyone know?!

thanks 🙂

With ProjectBuilder there was a file you could edit to set the whole content. With XCode this does not seem to exist, or at least has moved. You can change the company name: http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/macosx-dev/2003-November/036939.html

grrr can't seem to get it to work..
copy-pasted defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions {ORGANIZATIONNAME = "My Company's Name"; } into terminal (and tried it after su'ing) but gave me: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
Am I doing something wrong? 😕

I would love to know the answer to this too. I use xcode during school for my java class. I use my iBook while everyone else has to use the school comps (XP + Novell) including the teacher.

I can't get this to work either! Try opening the file (~Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode) in the plist editor and add the definition there instead.

If you company name has spaces like mine...

you need to add single quotes:
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ORGANIZATIONNAME = "Some Company Name"; }'
