That does seem like it would be easier, since the plist isn't in a
parental
element format. ie key & string are siblings & causes lots of fun
creating a
proper parser. But, the code you gave isn't working in my
widget. I even
tried getting the defaults directly from Terminal after cding into
the wdgt
directory & running
I've attached a working .js so there should be no other errors
introduced on
the way !

I read the man page & tried a few variations, including using the
CFBundleIdentifier string as the domain & altering
InfoCFBundleShortVersionString to CFBundleShortVersionString as
the key, but
kept getting a message that the domain didn't exist.
Incidentally, in my testing I did find that if you can see what
preferences
you've set by this format:
defaults read widget-CFBundleIdentifier, where CFBundleIdentifier
is the
string you placed in your Info.plist.
So, perhaps defaults can only be used for the preferences of an
app, not it's
default plist file?

Niels,
Here is a much easier way of getting your version number :
ver = widget.system(
'sh -c "defaults read `pwd`/InfoCFBundleShortVersionString"'
,null).outputString);
You'll need
AllowSystem = 1;
In your Info.plist
Cheers,
Guy

When I tried this using the syntax:
plist = new XMLHttpRequest();
plist.open("GET","version.plist",true);
my async listener reported a status != 200 with a statusText of
undefined.
The responseText was null, and the responseXML contained no nodes.
Are we sure you can use relative urls referencing files inside
the wdgt
bundle, or did I mess up on my syntax?
Say you want to display a version number on the backside
of the widget (is this a bad idea or good idea?), then
what's the easiest way to get the value of the
CFBundleShortVersionString key of the Info.plist
file of our widget bundle?
Or should we just rely on the Get Info command of the
Finder?
I would just let the user use Get Info.
If you feel you must have it, you can sue the XMLHttpRequest
object to get
your info.plist and parse it. You can pass relative urls to
XMLHttpRequest.
On the other hand you could hard code it in your HTML, and
update the
version when you update your widget.
Thanks,
