Re: Get Info version in Mac OS X Finder

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.

Though you've been told how to avoid this problem (i.e. with the CFBundleExecutable key), I'd advise against putting the version number in the name of your application bundle. As a Mac user, I expect to be able to upgrade to a new version of an application by dragging it to my Applications folder. If the name includes a version number, then the new version of the application will have a different name, and therefore won't replace the old version.
