I've seen that trick, but it does not work on TDK apps from my experience (which have an Info.plit for tclapp.app, but also call out to tdkbase.app).  I've modified both to no avail, even forcing the rebuild of the Info.plist cache (via renaming).

Standard Tk images do not. However, I noticed that TkImg at some point added support for multi-file TIF images in a single file--does anyone have experience with that?

Not me.
