When I open a Dock folder menu (List or Grid) in 10.5.2, I find that one of my AppleScript application bundles has a white Circle- Slash over the application's icon. It's trying to tell me something, but I'm not getting the message. Does anyone know the secret message?

You've got a bundle packaged as an application but without a known or valid executable. Check its Info.plist first.

I've looked into Info.plist and everything seems to be correct. I've tried to reproduce the problem and found that the application MUST be copied into the original folder where the problem first showed up. So, it's a problem with the folder containing the application.


I made a new folder in home/Applications/ ; Gave it the old name; Copied & Pasted the old folder icon; and moved the contents of the old folder into the new. Problem gone. Well ... not yet.

I copied & replaced "myApplication.app" in the menu folder (in home/ Applications/) with the original "myApplication.app". The problem returned.

I deleted the custom icon from the menu folder. Problem gone. No more Circle-Slash.

This could get complicated!
