The currently logged-in user quite often does not have permission to do that. For instance, a normal (i.e. non-Admin) user cannot modify anything in /Applications. What's more, if memory serves, an app's Info.plist is read at startup and ignored after that, so even if you could make such changes, you'd need to restart the app (or jump through other, equally-annoying hoops) to see the results of the change.

Hmm...

Actually, this smells like an A/B problem. You have problem A, and you've decided the best solution for it is B (editing Info.plist). But it's probably not; if you tell us about A, there's probably a much better solution for that.

I mentioned Quicksilver because the scenario is exactly the same. I have a regular app that has a status item. I'd like to give the user the ability to choose if the app should have its Dock icon and a menu or just appear as a status item.



If all you want to do is change the Dock icon for your app at run- time, why not simply use NSApplication's -setApplicationIconImage:?

I'd like to _remove_ the icon, not change its appearance (I already do this in the app)...


You could implement a handler delegate method fileManager:shouldProceedAfterError: - the second argument should give you more detailed information about the error.

I'll add a handler to gather more information on the error.
