Re: Finder GetInfo and 'plst' resource

I think this page should take some of the mystery out of info plists.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/ BPRuntimeConfig/Concepts/PListKeys.html
And for the short answer, you either need a CFBundleGetInfoString or a CFBundleGetInfoHTML. ( http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2013.html has a few outdated keys like CFBundleLongVersionString that don't seem to be used for anything)

Hi

I have an OSX-only, non-bundled CFM Carbon app. After adding the 'plst' resource, the File Icons and file associations seem working fine.

It seemed necessary to remove the old legacy 'BNDL' 'FREF' 'vers' resources before the new 'icns' and file associations would work.

Everything seems working fine with only the 'plst' resource, except that 'Version' no longer displays in the Finder Get Info window.

Appended are relevant parts of the plst resource, in case someone can see whatever key might be wrong or missing-- It sure would be nice to get the Finder Get Info Version working again (GRIN).

Thanks

JCJR
