At 12:25a -0400 07/09/2004, Luis A. Marroquin didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
I'm running into an issue where If I write a very simple APP for deployment
in some OS X managed clients thru a Mac OS X server, when the App is added
to the list of apps the user is allowed to use, the server ID's the app as
something else alltogether, either apple.something.com type of ID or a name
of an alltogether different application somewhere else in the system.
Question: Is there a way in Applescript to set a proper ID for the Applet,
either by setting an internal applet name identifier within the compiled
code OR some other kind of identifier that will prevent the simple code from
being confused as another application?
You can obtain a unique ID (creator code) here:
http://developer.apple.com/datatype/
Do a search first, to see if your preferred codes are available.
Also note that if you recompile your applet, any customized resources
and metadata will be overwritten. Therefore, keep a separate resource
file with your customized resources, and any time you recompile your
applet, copy what you need from your resource file to the applet.
ResEdit and ResFool are your friends. :-)
HTH,
