Re: Get Info version in Mac OS X Finder

Hi,

I'm a bit stumped about getting the version of my Mach-O Carbon application displayed in the Finder's Get Info window. I have searched Apple's documentation but only found mention of how to do it with 'version' resources for Mac OS 9 and earlier. Which I'm already familiar with, and it doesn't seem to work on Mac OS X.

You should probably read through CFBundle.h. It's pretty short, and if you don't know about the API you want there may be others in there you could find useful. ;-)


It is clear that I can provide this information in my Info.plist but I can not find any description of exactly how. Yes, I'm sure I missed something, but any pointers to relevant documentation would be much appreciated.

Have you looked at other applications' plists to see what they do?

Also, I notice that if I in the Finder change the name of my application to include the current version, Finder will refuse to launch it. I am curious both to why and what if possible can be done to avoid this refusal.

You need to add an executable key. Again, look at what other applications do.
