What do you mean when you say "use the Info.plist file to pass data into my
app?" That doesn't make sense to me.


i want to be able to give my app different startup arguments .. what i mean by "using the Info.plist" is that this is a sort of 'indirect way' of doing cmd-line args .. and is it the only way i can set args for my app?

one thing though, is that it doesn't seem to work for me if i put my args in the Info.plist as recommended, thus:

Info.plist:
	..
	<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
        <string>The Name Of My App Executable -somearg</string>
	..

is this only possible/feasible if CFBundleExecutable is a no-spaces-in-the-string value?

.. about to do a test app to see if a non-spaced executable name will work where this one doesn't, but this would suck because it appears that XCode is not going to let me change the CFBundleExecutable value for my application/project setup without a fight .. every time i try to change it, i get a deadly crash. something for the xcode list, perhaps ..
