So how does the Finder know, when you launch an application, that it's Stay-Open?

It's up to individual applications to maintain a run loop or not, and has nothing to do with how the Finder whose only job is to launch them (see e.g. LSOpenApplication).


As for how the applet knows, 'DeRez resourceFile [-useDF]' is your friend if you want to get nosey with Apple's own applet files/ bundles; I'm guessing the answer is there. (But bear in mind that the applet's resource format is AFAIK undocumented and tied to the particular applet implementation, so don't go relying too much on anything you find as there's no guarantees it won't differ in past/ future versions and different vendors' implementations.)

Which, I think, confirms my suspicion that this is just something that has to be done manually. I have a situation where an uneditable stay-open application bundle is created from an editable source application which may not have been saved as stay-open.
