When dealing with applications (application bundles) by name or path,
in Cocoa, when does it make a difference whether you use
App Name.app
example:
Front Row.app
or:
/Applications/Front Row.app
versus
App Name
example:
Front Row
or:
/Applications/Front Row
This seems to be pretty important, and I'm curious when and to what
degree I should be cautious about the naming used in code.
At this time I am mainly concerned about Apple apps themselves that
should normally be in the system.
Subsequently, is there any difference concerning 10.3 / 10.4 / 10.5 ?
The difference is that App Name.app can be any App Name.app, whether
or not it lies inside your bundle, the same directory as you bundle,
or in a directory that is searched for bundles. /Applications/Front
Row.app is /Applications/Front Row.app, and no other Front Row.app,
even if there's a Front Row.app lying somewhere else where your
application may look for them.
From what I know, there's no difference in the way the above works
between different versions of Mac OS X.
