According to the docs, the plist value CFBundleDisplayName is a
string that reflects the actual name of the widget, to be displayed
in the widget bar and the Finder.
However, the widget's file name is shown in the widget bar & the
finder, not the display name. Only if your widget's file name &
the BundleDisplayName match will it eliminate the .wdgt from the
Finder. Anyone have any idea why the documentation discrepancy
exists?
So there's some nuance on how this works. In a nutshell, it's
required for localizing your widget's name, in both the Finder and
widget bar.
First, the CFBundleDisplayName in the Info.plist needs to match the
on disk widget bundle name, minus the ".wdgt" file extension.
Secondly, inside of your language projects, you supply a file named
"InfoPlist.strings." it contains the line:
"CFBundleDisplayName" = "Localized Widget Name";
Thirdly, based on the user's prefs, as set in the International pref
pane, the appropriate localized name is shown in Finder and the
widget bar.
If one of the above conditions fail, CFBundleDisplay name is ignored
and the fallback, using the widget bundle's on disk name
(minus .wdgt), is used. Just including an InfoPlist.strings at the
root level of your widget won't invoke this behavior—it needs to be
in a language project directory (.lproj).
