For example, I copied an .xcodeproj bundle to a system which didn't
have the Xcode tools installed. The Finder treated the bundle as
ordinary folder; is this intended behaviour?

That's because the 'bundle bit' is not set by Xcode when it saves. In
my experience, few applications do this, which is a shame because it's
easy and fixes the problem you describe.

I would suggest that all apps that save as packages/bundles set the
bundle bit on their documents.  You can use MoreFilesX's
FSChangeFinderFlags () function like so:

FSChangeFinderFlags (&projFolderRef, true, kHasBundle); 

I've just been looking at the kHasCustomIcon flag, and that seems to
be wildy inaccurate for most items as well ...


How so? (note that "having a custom icon" is not the same as "not
having a generic icon")

Well, in the same way that only about four of the .app's in the / Applications directory has the hasBundle bit set, only a dozen had the kHasCustomIcon bit set.

Without digging further, this would seem to imply that the bit is being set by a few creators (human or otherwise), but not systematically by anybody, which seems to be the situation that Sean outlined for hasBundle above ...
