iPhone Interface Builder - Moved resources to sub-directory, now IB can't see them!

Question

I had a bunch of images in my Xcode project. They were originally added without choosing "Create Folder References for any added folders". So I removed the references and re-added as per these instructions Include a resource directory hierarchy into app bundle

Unfortunately, Interface Builder will not display any of the images inside that directory. On the project tree the directory comes up with a blue icon and all the files are there!

The file names show in the IB Inspector (i.e. under the 'Image' property), but I get missing image icons for everything located in that directory.

Any ideas how to get the images showing again?

Problem solved! Turns out that blue folder references are fine, but IB will not read them! For anyone else who cares to know, if you have the following:

/iphone-project-dir/images/pic.png

Once you've added them in a blue folder in Xcode (as detailed in link above), you can refer to them in IB as follows:

images/pic.png

In the XIB's XML it will look something like this

<string key="NSResourceName">images/pic.png</string>

Simple! The only drawback is Interface Builder's WYSIWYG preview does not process these paths!
