how to set default name & company name on comments in Xcode?

Question

When we add a new file,

In .h & .m file, there is always a comments/documentation section at top.

example.

//
//  SimpleGameAppDelegate.m
//  SimpleGame
//
//  Created by hbmac2 on 01/10/09.
//  Copyright __MyCompanyName__ 2009. All rights reserved.
//

Here, there is by default hbmac2 - is user name & MyComapnyName is also default.

Can't we set it like,

Created by Sagar -

HiddenBrains.com - by default?

Can we set any other comments to be there by default?

Answer 2

Nall's answer is good, but you should know that in Snow Leopard XCode you can set the Organization name (the name used by the templates) in the General tab of project settings.

If you are working on only your own stuff, you should set it once via the other means. If you are working for clients you should use the per-project setting so a file always gets the right name as you switch between projects.

1) In 3.0 and later, set your Company Name in your personal Address Book card. 2) In 3.2 and later, you can additionally have a per-project Company Name set in the Project's General tab in Get Info.
